The imperious Black Cuillins of Skye from the famous Camusdarach Beach, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

            Commentary.

Sea of turquoise, serrated mountain ridge.
This beach, popular with me since the 1970’s,
shot to fame as the archetypal West Coast gem in the 1983 film, “Local Hero.”

Like so many others its shell-sand glistens white against a turquoise and azure sea.
The dune path to it from the old main road is like a mini-gorge through the marram-clad sand hills.

Then this view is revealed as we tip-toe across the stream to the main beach. The fascinating vistas to Skye and Rum.

 The rocky headlands smothered in rock-pools thronging with life and the pure unspoilt nature of this Morar Bay.

A total delight to those souls who venture this far,
a Shangri-la……………….reward indeed!
