Cottage in Camasunary Bay - Isle of Skye

Cottage in Camasunary Bay - Isle of Skye
Camasunary Bay (Camas Fhionnairigh), meaning "Bay of the Fair Shieling" (pasture) in English. The bay is located on the south coast of Skye at the southern end of Glen Slighachan, and forms the northeast shore of the broad Loch Scavaig, lying to the southeast of the Cuillin Hills. Despite its isolation, it is regarded as one of the finest bays on the island. Access is normally by foot or boat only. Marsco in the Red Cuillin Hills provides a fine backdrop for the cottage. The cottage is still in use but no sign of any occupation at the time of our visit, possibly used as a holiday home.

I had a good friend who has now passed away and his house was called The Shielings and I never knew what it meant....now I do! It's a beautiful scene Doug and thank you for the information.

Sunday greetings, Rosa.

Glad the info was of use! I'm guessing your late friend was of Scots blood.

A wild and rugged landscape with what is probably an occasional cottage in a superbly composed and very well captured image, Doug,
For me the Isle of Skye is unique and so very attractive and this superb shot backs up my opinion perfectly, Great photography!
