  1. Worth turning off the A9 to explore in more detail: Helmsdale on the east coast of Sutherland, seen across the River Helmsdale. The village's origins date back at least as far as the Vikings, who established a settlement here. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/hel

  3. The grey roots circle thee, who never knew
    At any hour within thy travels lone
    A human shape but mine…

    —Olive Fraser, “The Adder of Quinag”
    published in THE WRONG MUSIC, @canongatebooks 1989

  5. Dornoch is a real jewel on Sutherland's east coast. It is bypassed by the A9 and all too easily overlooked. The castle, now a hotel, was built opposite the cathedral as a bishop's palace. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dor

  7. The fragmentary ruins of Ardvreck Castle, overlooking Loch Assynt in the heart of Sutherland. Dating back to around 1490, the castle is best known for a notorious betrayal of Highland hospitality that took place here in 1650. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/loc

  9. Croick Church in Sutherland, which has reminders of the tragic story that brought word of the Highland Clearances to a much wider audience via an article in The Times on 2 June 1845; and which offers an intriguing mystery. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bon

  11. The remarkable Hermit's Castle, on the shore at Achmelvich near Lochinver in Sutherland. This concrete folly was built in 1950 and, so the story goes, used for just one weekend before being abandoned.

  17. This legibility problem is rampant in human resources functions worldwide. If they even make a job function legible, a rare feat indeed, their salience is typically severely biased and seen through a rearview mirror. Read James C Scott's Seeing Like a State for more insights.

  21. Occupying a prime location in the centre of Dornoch, on the east coast of Sutherland, beautiful Dornoch Cathedral has been in use since 1239, though much of what you see today dates back to 1835-7. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dor

  25. It's well worth going to Achmelvich, north of Lochinver in Sutherland, for the magnificent setting and the beaches. Tracking down the eccentric and elusive Hermit's Castle on its rocky headland adds even further to the enjoyment. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/loc

  27. RE: mastodonapp.uk/@NorthHerts4Eur

    I remember the threats of Nissan shutting down their car plant in Sutherland during Brexit. Seems like it's finally going to happen....'Hate' is not a plan for governance then?

  29. I nod and nod to my own shadow and thrust
    A mountain down and down.
    Between my feet a loch shines in the brown,
    Its silver paper crinkled and edged with rust…

    —Norman MacCaig, “Climbing Suilven”
    from BETWEEN MOUNTAIN AND SEA: Poems From Assynt (Birlinn, 2018)

  31. Strathnaver in northern Sutherland: a place whose beauty on a day like the one shown here belies a dark history, a history of clearance that explains how quiet it can seem today. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bet
