Engineering as a beautiful work of art. This is the Kylesku Bridge on the west coast of Sutherland, seen in summer and in winter. The bridge replaced the Kylesku Ferry - or a 100-mile detour via Lairg - when it opened in 1984. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kylesku/kylesku/index.html

The beautiful beach at Achmelvich, just three miles north-west of Lochinver in Sutherland and one of Scotland's very best beaches: or more accurately a small collection of beaches nestled amongst the rocky bays and headlands here.

For fans of #standingstonesunday, I have a conundrum. Pictured is a stone that is undeniably standing but I don't think it was erected by human hands, or was it? Your thoughts appreciated. It is located approximately 250m SSW of the campsite at #Achmelvich #Sutherland #Scotland . Note that this stone is not recorded as a standing stone as far as I can determine (eg trove.scot). All the same it's very very upright!

Wonderful Sandwood Bay in the far north-west of Sutherland, looking north towards Cape Wrath. It's a long walk in, but for sheer majesty and grandeur, there is simply nowhere that can beat it. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kinlochbervie/sandwoodbay/index.html

The most amazing place in Scotland? Sandwood Bay, south of Cape Wrath in Sutherland, offers nearly a mile and half of wide pinkish sand backed by huge sand dunes and a loch, plus an impressive sea stack: and a very long walk in.

The village's origins date back at least as far as the Vikings, who established a settlement here. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/helmsdale/helmsdale/index.html
