Golden Harvest. Broke its mooring and drifted to this part where she's been sitting for a few years now near the village of Corpach Fort William. Ben Nevis is in the background.

Another antler trophy captured at Glamis Castle. The lighting was great and I loved the shadow being cast along the stone wall, so had to capture it!
I am a complete nut for history and nothing is more fascinating to me than prehistoric history. I can’t claim to have discovered this gem of a place all by myself, but that’s the beauty of a roadtrip, you can go in whichever direction you want, and end up discovering several things which were not on your agenda. We drove past this place and came back to it because it looked so interesting.
What is it about stone structures/circles that’s so fascinating? I think its partially to do with the fact that even after all these years, they are still shrouded in mystery and mysticism. Used for religious ceremonies and as burial grounds, we haven’t really understood their purpose or how they were constructed. I have been to quite a few stone circles in the UK and have often found the smaller ones to be more interesting. The most critical thing is that the smaller sites let you go close to the stones themselves - you can touch them, feel them and photograph them at really close quarters, feeling like a page in a history book when you do so. Such an experience is difficult in a more popular site like the Stonehenge, while being pushed around by impatient tourists.
Kilmartin Glen is perhaps one of the most important prehistoric and Neolithic sites in the whole of the UK with a really high density of structures, most of them dating to the bronze or Neolithic age. I didn’t get the time to explore the entire site but can you imagine Kilmartin Glen as a thriving Neolithic settlement? Full of people (more or less like us), busy establishing rituals and structures which would be talked about millennia later?
És un arc marí natural prop de Portknockie, a la costa nord-est d'Escòcia. Es diu així perquè s'assembla a la punta d'un arc de violí. Està compost per quarsita, una roca metamòrfica que originàriament era arenisca de quars.

El castell de Dunvegan es troba al nord de Dunvegan, a l'illa de Skye. És la seu del MacLeod, cap del clan MacLeod. Probablement un lloc fortificat des dels temps més antics, el castell es va construir per primera vegada al segle XIII.

La formació rocosa és alhora una atracció turística i un lloc de nidificació d'ocells marins, com ara les gavines argentades, les gavines grans i les gavines menors.
The rock formation is both a tourist attraction and nesting place for sea birds including herring gulls, great black-backed gulls and lesser black-backed gulls.

DiscoverScotland Website - Situated on the hilltops near Cairnhead are three sandstone arches known as the Striding Arches.
The arches were designed by landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy. Each arch, located at the Byre, Locharbriggs Quarry and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, was built from red sandstone sourced from Dumfries. The structures consisted of 31 blocks weighing 27 tons, standing at 4 meters high and spanning across seven meters.
Andy has also had these structures built in other corners of the world, including Canada, the United States and New Zealand. This was to represent Scots emigrating to these parts of the world over the last 200 years.
