A view of Achnasheen, on the Kyle Line railway and an important road junction in the northern Highlands. Here you choose between heading west to Wester Ross or south-west to Lochalsh and the Isle of Skye. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/achnasheen/achnasheen/index.html
The superbly located fishing and ferry port of Ullapool in Wester Ross, gateway to the amazing far north-west of Scotland and terminus for the ferry service to Stornoway on Lewis in the Western Isles. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ullapool/ullapool/index.html
The tiny and very remote settlement of Reiff in Coigach, north-west of Achiltibuie and at the far north-western tip of Wester Ross. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/achiltibuie/reiff/index.html
A wintry view of the single track road east from remote Achiltibuie, north-west of Ullapool. The prominent peaky mountain is Stac Pollaidh whose character is out of all proportion to its mere 613m or 2,009ft in height.

The fabulous view east from Laide in Wester Ross over Gruinard Bay towards the distant peaks of An Teallach. The ruined chapel in the foreground may be on, or close to, the site of one built by St Columba in the 500s. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/poolewe/laide/index.html
This is the open air church at Am Ploc near to Torridon. Quoting from the Historical Environment Scotland website: “The monument is of national importance as a material reminder of the greatest religious upheaval of the 19th century, the Disruption, which led to religious & social change in Scotland. The monument is one of the few preaching sites that have left any material remains” #WesterRoss #Torridon #Scotland
One from this day last week with the Aurora in full flow. This one is looking north from the Applecross peninsula towards The Minch. The white light on the horizon is the Rona lighthouse and the glow to the right of that is the lights of Stornoway #Aurora #NorthernLights #WesterRoss #Rona #Skye #Scotland
Our welcome to Annat today.
Apparently it's rainbow central round here. We'll find out in due course...

Overnight snow on the tops and squally showers. Wester Ross today #WesterRoss #Scotland
Another one from Monday evening, this time looking west over the Inner Sound towards Raasay and Skye. The phenomena named STEVE (see my previous post for an explanation) dominating the sky along with the glow of the Aurora. The Milky Way is visible to the left of frame and right of frame is the double star Arcturus. #STEVE #Aurora #NorthernLights #WesterRoss #Scotland #Raasay #Skye
Remote and enchanting, the small village of Ard-dhubh stands on a spur of land projecting north-westwards from the main body of the Applecross Peninsula in Wester Ross. It is shown here with the island of Raasay in the background. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/applecross/arddhubh/index.html

Meet STEVE or “Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement”. The Aurora was spectacular again last night but the highlight was the visibility of the rare phenomena known as Steve. A truly wonderful evening with the sky glowing with activity. The Andromeda galaxy is also visible towards the top left of the frame #STEVE #Aurora #NorthernLights #WesterRoss #Scotland
Sunset this evening towards the North Minch #Callakille #WesterRoss #Scotland #Sunset

Ruaraidh and the 3 a.m. taxi, Annat.
Woken up a few days ago by a roaring stag right outside and then a random taxi drove past.
