In my humble opinion, the further up the North West coast of Scotland you go the more beautiful it gets.  The landscape widens and the vistas get wider and deeper with knife edge mountains rising from wide glens.  This is the remote and stunning Ross-shire and Sutherland.

One spot that I noted particularly as I travelled up the coast from Gairloch on day trips was this view from Knockan looking across the moorland to Suilven.  With the depth of the views in this area often comes a combination of sunshine, rain, hail and any other kind of weather you might want, all layered over each other to give wonderful light, rainbows, “god rays” of light and pools of light picking out parts of the landscape.  A truly stunning area and definitely one to have on your bucket list.
