Cape Wrath
Cape Wrath lives up to its name. It is a windy, wild spot where shelter can be had in a basic, but welcome cafe, run by the lighthouse keeper.

The sea pokes its fingers into the wilds of Assynt at Kylesku forming narrow sea lochs which must be circumnavigated.

Coigach Peninsular
A small, dead-end road leads into the peninsular which is escaped by traversing Ben More Coigach or by following the coastal path toward Ullapool.

Ardmair Bay
Despite its adjacency to the road and a camp site, the bay has a natural beauty, enhanced by the bulk of Ben More Coigach at its back.

The Firth of Forth is surprisingly attractive despite the industry and urban development nearby. It is dominated by the rail and road bridges that have an iconic status.

The coastline from Edinburgh to Berwick is highly attractive, especially beyond Dunbar. St. Abb's Head is a real highlight of the trip, whilst the short diversion to Fast Castle is eminently worthwhile.
