SCOTLAND - what do you expect... takes your breath away!
Red Hills and Black Cuillins from Elgol This is one of the classic views on the Isle of Skye. A long and windy road that leads to heaven's door. | Chanonry Point, Black IsleWaiting for the dolphins to arrive... When they come, everybody goes 'oooh!' and 'aaaah!' as if they were at a fireworks display. A sign that there's hope for humankind yet! |
|
Kyle of LochalshJust before the town of Kyle, looking back into the stunning mountains of Kintail. | LochcarronThe 'other' road to Kyle and Skye - Lochcarron with its haunting scenery. |
|
Urquhart Castle, Loch NessOh LOOK...!!! There's- ah, maybe not... THERE SHE IS! Or was it just a swimming tree? Or a deer? OH NESSIE, WHERE ART THOU! | Kilt Rock, Isle of SkyeHey, kilts ROCK! Stand up here at the viewpoint and become one with the birds. On the other side of the water you would see Applecross, ancient land of St. Maelrubha and home of a fantastic eatery and music pub, and a coffee shop, and a spectacular pass and - you could go on and on... |
|
Skye Bridge with Cuillins'Speed bonny boat', for they're building a bridge... Underneath it there is a little cottage that once belonged to Gavin Maxwell, who brought us the otter story 'Ring of Bright Water'. | Dolphin, Chanonry PointNot the best dolphin picture ever but my first one that shows more than a bit of splashing water, so it had to get a place here. |
|
Chanonry Point lighthouseThere is something so lovely about this lighthouse in the evening sun. I have hundreds of photos of it... | Dunrobin Castle, SutherlandClosely connected with the sheep below, Dunrobin is a major tourist attraction nowadays. 182 rooms, a fantastic museum, gardens and a falconer that's worth all the trouble of getting there. A fairytale setting, no doubt. |
|
Dornoch BeachOne of the best beaches in the area, it has won a number of awards. The Royal Dornoch Golf Course is just behind the viewer and in the town itself a gorgeous cathedral of Madonna's wedding- cum-christening fame. | Heelan' CooThis one is definitely a 'Hi-Coo'. It stands to salute visitors in appreciation of their cooing noises. |
