The Western Highlands - Loch Eil, if I recall correctly.
Only just (re)found on my computer and edited it now. Better late than never... I edited it to give it a painterly feel

There are more pictures from Scotland – both landscapes, urban photos, castles and flowers – in the Scotland album.
Dunrobin Castle is the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. Dunrobin Castle is also one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the Earls and later, the Dukes of Sutherland. The Castle, which resembles a French château with its towering conical spires, has seen the architectural influences of Sir Charles Barry, who designed London’s Houses of Parliament.
Oban (An t-Ă’ban in Scottish Gaelic meaning The Little Bay) is a resort town within the Argyll and Bute council area of Scotland. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh and Fort William. During the tourist season, the town can have a temporary population of up to over 24,000 people. Oban occupies a setting in the Firth of Lorn. The bay forms a near perfect horseshoe, protected by the island of Kerrera; and beyond Kerrera, the Isle of Mull. To the north, is the long low island of Lismore and the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour.

Inchcolm Abbey was established as an Augustinian monastery in the twelfth century by David I, becoming an abbey in 1235. During the wars between England and Scotland, the location of Inchcolm Abbey meant that it was constantly under attack.
The island of Inchcolm Abbey continued to play a defensive role in the Napoleonic Wars and up to the Second World War. Despite its turbulent history, Inchcolm Abbey remains remarkably intact. Its thirteenth century cloisters are celebrated as some of the most well-preserved of their kind and visitors can even see a rare funereal fresco from the same period.

Scotland, the land of mysterious castles, magical lakes and forests, wild coastlines, is an invitation to travel. A country that loves culture, nature, animals - domestic and wild - and that offers the visitor a warm welcome.

Sometimes spare of the minute decisions, work out well. We decided last minute to have a few days up in my Ancestral Scotland. St Abbs Lighthouse has been on my to do list for a long time. Hadn't quite bargained for the road leading to the lighthouse though. Been really nervous since my car accident a few years back and believe me the fear I overcame to get there was repaid with this stunning sunrise.
Don't forget that maybe.............
you are the lighthouse in someones storm.
Thanks Calum for your help and inspiration :)
