Portree is the largest town on, and capital of, the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is the location for the only secondary school on the island, Portree High School. Public transport services are limited to buses. Portree has a harbour, fringed by cliffs, with a pier designed by Thomas Telford
The familiar Cuillin Ridge in silhouette. Probably around thirty miles from this point but still spectacular.

Slightly different version of the same image of sheep roaming the beach at Portuairk, Ardnamurchan, Scotland. Honestly the sheep have moved but the grass must taste good. I previously edited this image on Snapseed and this is on Lightroom Classic.
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.

Duntulm Castle stands ruined on the north coast of Trotternish, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, near the hamlet of Duntulm. During the 17th century it was the seat of the chiefs of Clan MacDonald of Sleat. It is a scheduled monument
The view from Portuairk across Sanna Bay to the crofting township of Sanna. In the foreground is a former croft.
The view from the south of Sanna Bay taking in the crofting township of Sanna and the islands of Rum, Eigg, Muck and just peeking through in the distance is Skye. Ardnamurchan, Lochaber, Scotland.
Looking from Elgol on Skye towards the island of Rúm and its familiar peaks. Formerly known as Rhum. Scotland
Not only did this roughly 180 foot waterfall prominently plunge from sea cliffs right into the Sound of Raasay, but it was also backed by the eccentric 295 foot Kilt Rock formation.
True to its name, the Kilt Rock actually did have a striking resemblance to the ubiquitous Scottish kilt.

Returning to Portuairk after walking over the hill to Bay McNeill and Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the most westerly point on the British mainland. The sun was coming and going but it was quite a mild afternoon on our walk, here it can be seen highlighting the cliffs beyond the township of Sanna.
The Fairy Pools, Skye. This was taken in 2015 in a cold spell at the beginning of May. You can see the snow falling but the following week the temperature rose into the twenties. We haven't been back to Skye for a few years now but from what I see the car park here has now about quadrupled in size. The dominant pointed piece of rock in the background is Sgurr an Fheadein.
Duntulm was originally a Pictish fortress, forming one of a chain of duns or forts stretching along the north coast of the Isle of Skye. On the arrival of the Norsemen the fort became the residence of a powerful Viking leader who gave it the name David’s Fort.
Trotternish often changed hands. It was not until the 16th century that the Lords of the Isles finally seized the territory and Donhall Gorm (Blue Donald) the chief (great-grandson of Hugh of Sleat), took up residence there and carried out considerable improvements to the fort. In 1730 the MacDonalds moved away from Duntulm and stayed for a time at Monkstadt before building their new castle at Armadale.
As it says , the view from Ardnamurchan Point looking north to the islands of Rum, Muck, Skye and Eigg. The sun occasionally shone on us and as can be seen here the late afternoon October sun is shining on Muck and Port Mòr. Although it looks a bit dismal it was relatively mild and calm.
The most westerly part of the British mainland (almost). Ardnamurchan, Scotland. In the background can be seen the islands of Canna, Rum, Muck, Skye and Eigg.
The most westerly lighthouse on the British mainland too. I was reminded recently also of how much of Scotland is west of England including Aberdeen being more to the west than Birmingham and all of Scotland being more to the west than London.
If you are in these parts then a visit to the Lighthouse and/or the cafe and souvenir shop is worth it. The views from the top of the lighthouse are superb.
The view from Portuairk across Sanna Bay to the crofting township of Sanna. These days not many of the houses here are home to crofters sadly but the land is still grazed. Given the hard life that many would have had making a living or even just surviving then maybe they would not feel sad about it. Some long standing families are still to be found here but many have moved away. There are even some that have moved away and have now returned.
In the foreground is the last of one of the local crofts in Portuairk.
Segons la previsió del temps, ja estava clar que aquell matí a Kilt Rock, no tindria una sortida de sol amb cel de colors, a Escòcia també és bastant normal que passi això, així que tenir uns núvols amb volum és una bona alternativa. Així doncs, vaig llevar-me igualment abans que sortís el sol i vaig fer el camí del càmping fins aquí per la carretera amb el frontal, a aquestes hores no hi ha ningú pel carrer habitualment, el mateix passa en estar als llocs coneguts i turístics que a primera hora del matí acostumes a estar sol o amb molt poca gent, aquell dia però no va tardar molta estona a arribar més gent, però ja tenia la feina quasi feta. En aquest lloc les opcions de foto són poques, ja que estàs a un mirador on veus la cascada i no et pots moure més.
Us poso el link a les fotos d'Escòcia per si les voleu veure:

The sheep can pretty much graze where they want to including on the sea shore on Ardnamurchan, here seen at Portuairk.. I had previously edited this image on my phone from the original using Snapseed. This is using Lightroom Classic.
Beautiful island of Skye and one of the most popular locations for tourists to visit. So much so that the once small car park is now greatly enlarged and yet when it is busy people still abandon their vehicles at the roadside. You can understand why, however annoying it is.
I refer to this area as almost hebridean because of its appearance, isolation and close proximity to the hebridean islands. This part of Ardnamurchan is closer to many of the hebridean islands than it is to Fort William. Unless you have come from the north or driven right around the shores of Loch Linnhe then chances are you would arrive in Ardnamurchan by boat or ferry, even though it is very much on the mainland.
Looking into bay MacNeil from Ardnamurchan Point with the lighthouse behind me. Ardnamurchan, Lochaber, Scotland.

The Storr is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The Old Man of Storr is one of Skye's most recognizable landmarks. The ‘Old Man’ is the large pinnacle of rock that stands high and can be seen for miles around. The Storr was created by a massive ancient landside, leaving one of the most photographed landscapes in the world.

The Quiraing is a landslip on the eastern side of the peninsula and the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge. It is a spectaular collection of features and the last area of the ridge that is slowly slipping down towards the sea.

An utterly charming place hidden away in the hills above Uig. Small, steep conical hills line the road as you approach Castle Ewan - a rock cap on the summit of one of the hills.

A series of falls and pools cuts through Coire na Creiche - the Fairy Pools. From small cascades to large vertical drops there is a great variety of landscape to behold and photograph.

The Quiraing is situated in the north of Skye. Follow the path that leads north from the carpark, the path is rough under foot with steep grassy slopes on your right hand side. As you look ahead you will see high cliffs & to the right a rock structure which is known as the Prison. From particular directions is looks like the fortress walls of an ancient Prison.
Trotternish, Isle of Skye, Scotland
The Storr Lochs on the Isle of Skye are made up of Loch Fada, with the larger Loch Leathan to the north. On the northern part of Loch Leathan you'll find the dam for the Storr Lochs hydro-electric project.
