  2. “The Land Reform Act 2003 gives everyone rights of access over land and inland water throughout Scotland, subject to specific exclusions set out in the Act and as long as they behave responsibly. These rights are sometimes referred to as 'freedom to roam'.”

    This is a peninsula on Loch Bracadale which has no inhabitants beyond a certain point. It is a glorious place in which to roam. The paths you can see were made by sheep.

  4. rb133 – SCO – Wandern unterhalb vom Old Man zum Fossil Beach – 2023-07-17

    Für den heutigen Tag haben wir uns eine Wanderung zum Fossile Beach in der Nähe des Old Man of Storr herausgesucht.

    Im günstigsten Fall finden wir was, wenn nicht, haben wir uns bewegt.

    Für die Hinfahrt haben wir uns die Passstraße von Uig nach Staffin herausgesucht, natürlich waren wir nicht allein und richtig voll wurde es, in der Nähe von Quiraing Steilkannte. Oh Mann hat sich hier viel verändert, wohl den vielen Touristen geschuldet. Bilder von bunten Regenjacken am massiv, [...]

  6. The remains of Knock Castle on the Isle of Skye, with the Sound of Sleat and Knoydart in the background. The castle was built in the early 1400s on a headland that had been fortified since the Iron Age. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/sky

  7. The Storr (Scottish Gaelic: An Stòr) is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face overlooking the Sound of Raasay, contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the west.

    The Storr is a prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the longest such feature in Great Britain. It is the type locality for the mineral gyrolite.

  9. Three more days till the Winter Solstice.The date marks the 24-hour period with the fewest daylight hours of the year.
    The winter solstice occurs at the minimum point for the northern hemisphere, when the Sun is lowest in the sky. The actual point of the solstice is not a day but specific time. It's at 21:48 hrs in the UK. My day on the #isleofskye will be 06 hours, 41 minutes and 51 seconds long. The flat topped mountain featured here is called Healebhal Mhòr #wintersolstice #wintersunset

  10. Another couple taken around the Storr, from the same misty visit. A surreal and alien landscape with irregular, broken shapes #IsleofSkye #ScottishLandscapes #Storr
