3am & coffee as I prepare for the last challenge of my journey. Knockfin Heights awaits! I’m hoping my navigation is spot on to see me through all of this. It’s only a short distance before I find the path to The Glutt & from there tracks & roads to Dunnet. Then it’s all done!

A first visit to small but mighty Berneray and even after years of visiting the Outer Hebrides, I really wasn't prepared for this island. It's absolutely gorgeous and that West Beach is stunning, with that wonderful blue green you get in Hebrides waters.
205 years ago today. The Union Chain Bridge over the River Tweed upstream from Berwick-upon-Tweed opened to traffic on 26 July 1820. At the time it was the world's longest iron suspension bridge. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/berwick/unionb…

Opened in October 1972, Craigellachie Bridge on the A941 bypassed Thomas Telford's grand arch bridge built in 1815. It was designed by W.A Fairhurst & Partners and built by Miller Construction. Beautiful part of the country and well worth a visit. #Scotland #Archives

A view over the harbour at Macduff, on the north Aberdeenshire coast. A harbour was built here in 1760, though at that time the village was called Doune. It became Macduff in 1783: the family name of the laird, Lord Fife, was Duff. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/macduff/macduf…
