A view of the harbour at Mallaig, the village at the end of the "Road to the Isles" and the West Highland Railway; and a place where you can catch ferries to Skye, the Small Isles, South Uist and the Knoydart peninsula.

The remains of Tigh nan Saighdearan, or the "Soldiers' House", the tiny Jacobite-era barracks in a seriously remote but strategically important location west of Loch Arkaig, controlling a significant route across the western Highlands.

The Corran Ferry, which carries travellers across Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and serves as a portal to so many remote and wonderful places. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/corran/corranferry/index.html

The less than obvious remains of the Old Fort, or Fort William, after which the town visible in the background is named. The fort was built in 1690 on the site of a wooden Cromwellian citadel. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/fortwilliam/oldfort/index.html

In terms of drama, the stunning region of Lochaber in the western Scottish Highlands, is probably up there as having some of the finest landscapes I have come across in my travels around the UK.
It's often marketed as the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK' centered around Fort William at the foot of mighty Ben Nevis.
This view is looking west across Loch Eil towards Glenfinnan on the 'Road To The Isles'.#scotland #lochaber #fortwilliam #mountains #monochrome #landscape #photography

The view along Loch Shiel from above its head at Glenfinnan in Lochaber, showing the mountains on its south-east shore and Eilean Ghleann Fhionainn. It was at Glenfinnan that Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard in August 1745. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glenfinnan/glenfinnan/index.html

Inverlochy Castle near Fort William. Built from around 1280 it was overtaken by history not once, but twice: first by a Cromwellian citadel built in 1654 and then by a Scots baronial style Inverlochy Castle built not far away in 1863.

The Corran ferry, which crosses Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and gives access to Morvern, Moidart and Ardnamurchan, waiting for customers at Nether Lochaber on the sort of wintry night that makes you long for summer.

The superbly remote Loch Arkaig in Lochaber, said to be the hiding place of a hoard of gold coins landed by the French at Loch nan Uamh in late April 1746 in support of the (by then already failed) Jacobite rising.

Glen Roy's "parallel roads", north of Roybridge in Lochaber. Long held in folklore to be hunting paths used by the Celtic warrior Fingal, they actually mark different shore lines of a vast ancient loch created by glacial ice.

This former fishing boat, originally built in 1975 as the MV 'Dayspring' and later undergoing a name change to 'Golden Harvest', lies wrecked on the shores of the Scottish Highland's Loch Linnhe, near Fort William.
The boat ran ashore during a heavy storm on 8 December 2011 and that's where she has been ever since.
The 'Corpach Wreck', as it is known, makes for an arresting sight as it sits on loch's shingle beach against the backdrop of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis.
I have visited and taken photographs at this spot numerous times, but it has been a rare occasion indeed to be able to capture the 'Ben' cloud-free.
In fact, if you zoom in just to the right of the boat's mast, you can make out the mountain's final section of footpath as it zig-zags up to the summit at 1,345 metres (4,413 ft).

Just off the 'Road To The Isles', a stunning autumn evening on the shores of Loch Eil, near Fort William in the Western Scottish Highlands.
It is thought that Bonnie Prince Charlie (Prince Charles Edward Stuart) would have passed this spot in 1746, perhaps not having the time to admire the view as he desperately fled to escape to France following the collapse of the Jacobite rising at Battle of Culloden in 1745.
It was only the previous Summer, just a few miles beyond those distant mountains that the 'Young Pretender' had first stepped ashore on 29 July 1745.
The following month he awoke the hopes and dreams of those gathering at Glenfinnan as he raised the Jacobite standard, beginning the 'Rising of '45'.

The view across the Sound of Sleat in the Western Scottish Highlands, towards the Isle of Skye. Captured this view from the ferry from Armadale as it approached Mallaig, passing the small light marker on the rocky islet of Sgeir Dhearg.
