Ok, most of you won't give a toss about this, but Sunny keeps bugging me about these so here they be. Also, this is some good advertising for the Scottish tourist board.
I've not embedded the pictures since some are quite big and will screw up the board dimensions. Click the links.
First up, the beach:

The locals. That's Orkney in the background:

Now, I was at the very top of Scotland. The pointy bit RIGHT at the top looking south. This photo I liked - it shows the North Sea on the left and the Atlantic Ocean on the right:

Same photo but larger and without the captions:

Abby with the Stacks of Duncansby in the background:

Abby with the isles of Orkney in the background:

John O Groats (the most northenly inhabited area) harbour with some dodgy clouds. Again, Orkney in the background:

Finally, a small, secluded beach called "Scotlands Haven". It involves about a ten minute trek over moorland to find this place. It's not on the maps and there's no signs. There is, however, a seal colony normally on the rocks. The beach is awesome.

More people should come see this place. It's pretty cool.
