- Early morning light on Cape Wrath
-
- Looking back to the bothy, apart from which the landscape is pretty featureless.
-
- Unypically unboggy Cape Wrath terrain
-
- Entering Cape Wrath military training area.
-
- Waiting for the legendary ferry, which can be unpredictable in both timing and configuration.
-
- The derelict radio station. One of the metal shutters was loose so I naughtily climbed in, but there was nothing but bare walls, the place had been stripped.
-
- This is it. This is the gate to Cape Wrath. From the quality of the stonework it’s immediately obvious this was once a rather splendid establishment.
-
- Mountain Avens
-
- Roseroot Sedum rosea at Cape Wrath.
-
- Sandwood bay from the north.
-
- Strathchailleach Bothy
-

- Sandy’s master bedroom in which, arriving in the early afternoon, I had the privilege of sleeping.
-
- Lumps of dry peat ready to gather.
-
- Sandy’s peat bank.
-
- Finally going properly!
