Another location from our recent Skye / Lewis and Harris trip, perhaps another 8 or 10 locations to come over the next few weeks, but this one was an unexpected one…

Late to the party but really lovely scenery which the film footage probably doesn’t do justice compared to what you saw with the eye.

Thank you, although tbh, the view wasn’t vsible to the naked eye from where I TOAL, so without the drone we wouldnt have seen it…
