On the now deserted island of Scarp, off the west coast of Harris:

I managed to blag a place on a boat trip across there from Huisinis, and wandered around for a few hours. Less panoramically, a couple more:

In rather better weather a couple of days later, the classic panorama from above the beach at Seilebost, with Taransay, the North Harris hills and Luskentyre / Losgaintir,

Mangersta cliffs, West Lewis, and bothy

The bothy was built and is maintained as a memorial to Linda Norgrove by her parents, who live nearby. More pics of it are here.

What an extraordinary place, with an extraordinary story.

It is indeed. Astonishing. If I hadn't already pitched at the campsite a few miles up the road at Ardroil, I would have happily stayed there. Next time.

Lots of great stuff in this thread--I'm enjoying it.

This is technically panoramic in format, but not a dramatic wide view. Just playing with the auto-panorama setting.

Hell's Kettle:

Despite the name, they're just a series of ponds near Darlo - pretty enough, mind.

Very concentric! There is some great stuff on this thread - thank you all.

Bill, is your view of Grasmere from the road up to Allen Bank, looking down to the Quaker Guest House? I recognise Seat Sandal.

billplumtree · « **Reply #364 on:** 04 November, 2015, 07:49:13 pm »

Well recognised Peter - yep, exactly right. Allen Bank, now that's a great place isn't it?

Peter · « **Reply #365 on:** 04 November, 2015, 07:53:55 pm »

Certainly is - mind you, there aren't too many bad places round there! Though I'm not a lover of the Wordsworth Museum's "tower".

More wide-angle than panorama. It's one image, cropped, not multi-images blended.
