Very strong evening Sun on the coast at Totscore which is a small crofting hamlet/village on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye, in the Scottish Highlands. The Little Minch: lying between the Isle of Skye (Inner Hebrides) and the central/southern Outer Hebrides (e.g., North Uist, Benbecula, Harris). This is the stretch visible in the distance from Totscore and northern Skye. these islands are just visible on the horizon! As a part of the Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland this stretch of water is known for its deep waters with strong currents, often with turbulent conditions,plus dramatic scenery, and rich marine environment. HFF and a good weekend, Shot in 16.9 therefore a large view may be beneficial!

Portpatrick is a picturesque seaside village and civil parish on the west coast of the Rhins of Galloway peninsula in Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. It sits on a stunning bay with colorful pastel houses, a small harbor, and dramatic coastal cliffs overlooking the Irish Sea. Historically, it was a key ferry port due to its proximity to Northern Ireland (about 21 miles / 34 km to Donaghadee), serving as the shortest sea route This shows the harbour entrance from the lighthouse on a murky May afternoon.,,,,,,, HWW to all.

Unable to upload a HWW image,IP not playing! This is the Calanais Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides and the most famous of several related stone settings in the Calanais area (including Calanais II, III, and others), forming part of a broader prehistoric ritual landscape. Often called the "Stonehenge of the North," the site features a distinctive cross-shaped arrangement of standing stones made from ancient Lewisian gneiss (some of the oldest exposed rocks on Earth). The main monument (Calanais I) includes:A central stone circle with 13 stones surrounding a tall central monolith (about 4.8–5 meters high). An avenue of stones extending northward (roughly 83 meters long, formed by two parallel-ish rows that fan out slightly). Rows of stones extending east, west, and south from the circle, creating the cruciform (cross-like) pattern The stones were erected around 2900–2600 BC during the Neolithic period—predating the main phases of Stonehenge by several centuries (roughly 500 years earlier than its famous sarsen circle). The central stone circle is shown in the image,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It really does need a large view for the full effect !

Parish of Glasserton and Isle of Whithorn Church, Main Street, Isle of Whithorn. Newton Stewart, Associated with St. Ninian (one of the earliest Christian missionaries in Scotland), who is traditionally said to have landed nearby around 380–431 AD. Home to the ruined 13th-century St. Ninian's Chapel (linked to Whithorn Priory), which served as a key stopping point for medieval pilgrims arriving by sea and heading to Whithorn. Evidence of earlier habitation includes ancient clearance cairns, cultivation furrows, and building remains near the chapel. For much of its history, it acted as the port for the inland town of Whithorn, supporting trade and pilgrimage. Today, it is a quiet, scenic village with a strong sense of history, popular for walking, coastal views, and as a base for exploring the Machars.,,,,,,,,,,,,,, HBM!
