Sutherland splendour

Described as Europe’s “last great wilderness” wholly in the Scottish Highlands. We were exploring around here in 2014 and this was taken on the way back to Durness after a day’s exploration around Oldshoremore and Kinlochbervie. I think the rock might be granite displaying this light pinkish rock in the late sun. This, I am fairly sure, was taken whilst traveling NE along the A838, now part of the famous route 500.


Enjoy the day.

Hi Gordon, sorry for late reply.

Yes, quite remote up here for sure. We went along this road a couple of times in the week that we were there, and a delightful experience it was.

Cheers. Herb
