And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green.....In England's green and pleasant land. With thanks to William Blake (1757 - 1827) (Human settlement began in the Lake District at least 5,000 years ago)

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. The Black Cuillin provide the backdrop on the far side of the bay.

Descending the the 140 metres drop from the high point of the track towards Camasunary from the Broadford to Elgol road about 4-5 km away. After this rocky path Ieuan and Bechan were happy to get on the soft sand of the beach!

Marsco is a peak (736 metres) in the Red Hills (Red Cuillin) on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It lies on the east of Glen Sligachan. Its distinctive pyramidal profile dominates the view southwards from Sligachan.

HFF 1/11/2019 The crofting community of Digg is one of several such communities situated on the Quiriang in the Staffin area of the Trotternish peninsula. A croft is a fenced or enclosed area of land, usually small and arable, and usually, but not always, with a crofter's dwelling thereon. A crofter is one who has tenure and use of the land, typically as a tenant farmer, especially in rural areas. The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 gives crofters the right to buy their land. The word croft (Scottish Gaelic - croit) is West Germanic in etymology and is now most familiar in Scotland, most crofts being in the Highlands and Islands area. The Quiraing (in Gaelic: 'Cuith-Raing') is a landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base, near Flodigarry, requires repairs each year.

Creag nan Calmian (Crag of the Doves) 660 m Glen Affric (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Afraig) is a glen south-west of the village of Cannich in the Highland region of Scotland, some 15 miles (24 km) to the west of Loch Ness. The River Affric runs along its length, passing through Loch Affric and Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin (Loch Benevean). Loch Affric lies at an elevation of 235 m (771 ft) ASL, is 5 km (3.1 mi) long with a maximum depth of 67 m (221 ft). The area is a Caledonian Forest Reserve, a National Scenic Area and a National Nature Reserve. Often described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland, it contains one of the largest ancient Caledonian pinewoods in Scotland as well as lochs, moorland and mountains.

Spidean Mialach is a mountain located in on the northern side of Loch Quoich in the Lochaber district of the Highland Council Area of Scotland and with a height of 996 metres (3268 feet) is classified as a Munro** **A Munro is a mountain in Scotland with a height over 3,000 feet. Munros are named after Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet, who produced the first list of such hills, known as Munro's Tables, in 1891.

The Storr (Scottish Gaelic: An Stòr) is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The hill presents a steep rocky eastern face overlooking the Sound of Raasay, contrasting with gentler grassy slopes to the west. The Storr is prime example of the Trotternish landslip, the longest such feature in Great Britain.

Best enlarged Situated between Loweswater and Buttermere. Often overlooked by its sister lake Buttermere, Crummock Water with the mighty Grassmoor on the west and the fells of Mellbreak on the east, it has unparalleled views from either side. It is 2 1/2 miles long, 3/4 mile wide and 140 feet deep and is a clear, rocky bottomed lake flanked by steep fellsides of Skiddaw slate. The lake is fed by numerous streams including the beck from Scale Force, which with a drop of 170 feet is Lakeland’s tallest waterfall. The River Cocker starts from here, flowing towards Cockermouth where it joins the River Derwent. Mellbreak is a hill in the Western part of the English Lake District. Despite being surrounded on all sides by higher fells (the Loweswater Fells, the High Stile Ridge and the Grasmoor Group), it stands in isolation. It is surrounded on three sides by a "moat" of deep marshy land, and on the east side by the lake of Crummock Water. The fell forms a partnership with the lake, running parallel to it, falling sheer into it, and regularly providing the backdrop for pictures of it.
