The splendid beach and sand-dunes of Achnahaird, Wester Ross, Scotland. The mountains from left to right are:- Cul Mor, Stac Pollaidh, Cul Beag and Sgorr Tuath.

Poem.

 

Serrated ridge of triple-peaked Cul Mòr.

Pyramidal summit of Stac Pollaidh.

Stepped profile of Cul Beag and the

northern slope of Sgòrr Tuath,

rise from this Sutherland horizon.

Archaic giant monoliths epitomise

this distant landscape.

Achnahaird beach stretches north

to south in its splendid bay.

Mountains, hills,

beaches, headlands,

cliffs and islands,

rivers and gorges.

Forests in sheltered valleys,

a myriad of azure lochs and lochans.

An ancient terrain evolved and carved over 3 billion years.

Other worldly.

Unique.

Glorious.

Awesome.

Sutherland is truly a wondrous land……all for free!
