The clan chiefs' graves.

(The site is private and not readily publicly accessible, but they have a beautiful view looking up the loch behind me).

Scenes from today's bike ride with Mrs T. I just love the contrasting blue and red on the old house / deer larder.

The memorial cairn is to a young local musician who died a couple of years ago, in his mid twenties and very shortly after his first child was born.

This area is the location of a pretty substantial reforestation project.

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. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/spe

The remains of Tigh nan Saighdearan. The image shows a view down a broad glen with a loch beginning halfway along it and continuing into the distance. There’s a gravel track coming in on the left and continuing along the hillside. In the foreground are partial remains of stone walls. The light is grey.

Pine Marten in Scotland eating a sandwich (it looks more like it has been willingly fed by someone rather than stealing the food, as it probably wouldn't hang around for photographers if that were the case)

A red sailboat floats in calm blue water, surrounded by green hills and a clear sky. The reflection of the boat and the surrounding landscape is visible on the water's surface.

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: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/cor

The Corran Ferry. The image shows the ferry in bright sunshine with vehicles driving off, towards the camera. The background is very dark, creating a striking contrast. The ferry has a white superstructure above a black hull and the vehicle deck is green.

Looking south over the sound of Mull just now. Never seen the sky so orange and the water mirroring completely the same colour. #Mull #sunset #lochaber

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. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/for

Inverlochy Castle near Fort William showing the outside of the castle seen through trees. The grey stone ruins of the castle extend across the centre of the frame, on top of a grassy bank. Nearest us is a ruined circular corner tower, and the curtain walls extend back both sides of it to other ruined towers. The scene is in sunlight with the shadow of trees in the foreground.
