Let's go out of Sneck

Ah yes, I see it now, I have the 1:50000 maps on the iPad. I went round the whole of Mull and Skye but I missed it. 

Here's a pano of Staffin I stitched a few years ago.

Guess the town:

I think it's Oban.  You are getting like Caley D   I wonder what he will come up with next!

[The Mantis]

Yes, Oban on the way to Barra. Just discovered this thread, got hundreds of pics, just need to find an area you haven’t been

Well Barra is one of the few places in the Highlands and Islands that I have not been to ................ yet.

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 

I've worked for VisitScotland the past two summers doing mobile/pop-up tourist info.  I basically spend 6 months of the year travelling all over Scotland, visiting interesting places, telling people how great a country we have....AND they pay me for it!!  I've "worked" at 139 unique locations in those two years, plus visited a few more during our down time....so think I'll be up to near 200 places of interest.

Best bit is that I get to drive one of these.....

Sounds like a good job!  I do miss all the travelling since I retired.  Here are some real ones nearer home and a scene from over the hill from the coos.

You are right Mantis not much got past me, especially on the single track roads  as I sped along stopping to check a few jobs or taking a photo or two on route.

The last one I posted was Loch Mhor near Gorthleck. 

Where is this?

 

[+weeman]

Croick Church near Ardgay

[Scarlet Pimple]

Some really beautiful pictures. Great and fascinating thread.

I have heard of a U-shaped valley but have never ever seen one  and that picture  was thrilling. I suppose it was ice that shaped it...eh?

And look at that date scratched onto the window of Croich church----1845.  Why, that's only 100 years after the battle of Culloden   Just shows you how time flies and how close we are in our hearts and minds to the past …...

And a bit more

 

[The Mantis]

That's not a doocot is it? I don't think the islands have any. More clues needed...

[IBM]

The big picture should be easy now

I think you overestimate us 

Can give you plenty of islands it isn't 

I think I would narrow it down to Skye or Mull.

 

Edit - Got it... Uig.
