Let's go out of Sneck

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Where are the coos ?

 

[IBM]

It looks like Unapool near Kylesku but it's been a few years since I have been up that way.

No sherry IHE!  I corrected my spelling error but now know I was thinking further north...........it is Applecross 

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

[The Mantis]

Applecross peninsula. Has to be away north of the village as Dun Caan on Raasay is lined up with the Cuillins. Near Lonbain.

It's the Youth Hostel between Gairloch and North Erradale as seen from the North (ish) side

It was Carn Dearg back in the days when the SYHA had no competition, but they're marketing it as Gairloch Sands nowadays.

Can't see it fro the road now SP - but have ya ever climbed up these ?

The mannie is on the Five Sisters ridge looking down into Glen Shiel. The Saddle is the Munro left of centre and the jaggy bits on the left skyline are Sgurr na Forcan and the Forcan Ridge. I'll mention Forcan Jaggies before IHE does...

A different viewpoint....but where is it?

[IBM]

Is it Dunnet Head?

[+CaleyD]

Keep going North....

Eshaness Shetland Isles.  It is very difficult to work out with a view from a drone as my view of the places I traveled was from the road.

Round about the Bealach Ratagain. Used to be a fine viewpoint but there’s been a lot of changes in the forestry over the years.

I didn't have to hike up the hills for that one my van was just behind me  the last time I was passing that viewpoint the trees were much bigger!

Aye the bealach is on the road. The Loch Garry viewpoint is hopeless now too, it’s signposted for the tourists to pull in but they need to fell a few trees so they can all get a photo like before.

Yes the old map of Scotland I am digging out the old ones now

I’ve got a Kodachrome slide like that from about 1980. I tried to get the same shot with digital about a year ago but the trees are right up to the road.

The appeal of the drone, for me, is getting that different perspective...or indeed, putting places into perspective.  It's also handy for getting above the pesky trees...lol.

[The Mantis]

Struggling with this one. West coast, topography and settlements suggests Mull or Skye. Hoor of a load of motor homes. The traffic seems to be blocking the road too.

[+CaleyD]

If I'd shown a bit more to the right it would have been fairly obvious from the mountains....it also would have revealed the island that's not far off the coast.

[The Mantis]

I hope IBM is as good at this as he is with cars. I'm stumped.

We had the grandchildren today so never had time during the day hadn't a clue when I had a quick look on my phone but much easier when on the PC.  Garrafad Pier Staffin, although when you see it from the air there looks a lot more houses than you see when driving along the road.  Caley D you are doing as much travelling as I was doing when I was working
