Coldbackie

Coldbackie beach pictured from above, just off the A836. Coldbackie is a crofting township in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The land that can be seen at the top of the image is, I believe the island of Eilean Nan Ron, meaning island of the seals and in fact around 350 seal pups are born there each year. The island is uninhabited.

The climb down to Colbackie beach is quite steep but it is a beautiful hidden gem with views of the Rabbit Islands just out of the image on the left.

Thank you very much Guni. The climb down to the beach was a bit too steep for us so I just took some shots from up there

Thank you very much Colin. We had a lot of places we wanted to see and the climb down to the beach was a bit steep so we settled for photos from the top.
