Beautiful little islands and a lot of them. Am I correct that a number of these are inhabited? Lots of nice looking little inlets and natural bays.

All uninhabited now Alan. These are the setting for the Wicker Man film, very scary. The boats are fishing boats,r just in a safe anchorage, the North Atlantic is just to the right and it gets rough, even in the Summer. Ken

What a great place to be camping Ken! I sure like the pano formats with these images.

Have fun on the mountain, that will be great I am sure!

Coigach is a wonderful place actually I live in Scotland and the Inverpolly area is my favourite location of all its sceneic regions. I assume you have already visited Achnahaird Bay. Just for the record if you are in a camper van there is a lovely wee car park with facilities at Knockan Crag which has a great overlook to the mountains over a loch with wee Stac Pollaidh nestled behind, it's a great place on a Summer evening and an instant out of the window view if the weather plays ball great at twilight too. If you fancy a lofty 15 minute high view there is one that takes you up to the top of the escarpment behind the car park. A stone staircase takes you to the top. Here's a summer sunset image taken last year admittedly with two camper vans a few feet away, taken after a typical summer downpour. Have a great time Ken doubtless I shall visit again come October.

Thanks for the info Ian. I am a frequent visitor but wouldn't say that I know the area well. I am also Scottish which unfortunately doesn't make me immune to midge bights. Ken

Great image Ian. I know Knockan Crag. We are old style campers, in a tent, speaking of which we have a bit of wind coming in, 60mph gusts, so about to take the big tent down and out the little one up. Walked up Sgurr an Fhidhleir yesterday, images when I get home. Ken

fantastic as ever Ken. Heading to the Isle of Skye later in the year so hope to capture similar images then (weather permitting!)
