Shieldaig (Scottish Gaelic: Sìldeag; Old Norse: síld-vík, lit. 'herring bay') is a village in Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands
The village was founded in 1800[3] with a view to training up seamen for war against Napoleon. After his (initial) defeat and exile to Elba, the community found itself a new role as a fishing village. The small island just offshore never had its tall pines harvested to rig warships, and has now become a nature sanctuary. WiKi

This Pic was captured in July, 2004, four years after the Mrs. and I had pulled our travel trailer from California across Oregon, Washington, Canada, and the Yukon to reach a place called Homer, Alaska.
We had learned about Homer from a female military veteran who was washing clothes at a RV (caravan) laundry room in Malibu California. I asked her about Homer after seeing a Bumper Sticker on her vehicle that read “Homer Alaska… a Drinking Town with a Fishing Problem.”
The Vet went on and on about the beauty and sense of adventure one experiences driving the Alaska Highway (ALCAN). Of course, that’s all the Mrs. and I needed to hear; we set about planning a road trip to Alaska.
The Veteran was so right; we had the adventure of a lifetime. As it turned out, we were enjoying a gorgeous day on the Homer waterfront the morning of September 11, 2001 (9/11). Sadly, we decided to end our adventure that tragic day and spent the next few dreary weeks pulling that trailer home.
Nevertheless, since our trip to Alaska had been short in 2001, we decided to fly back to that wonderful state in 2004. We wanted to experience things we missed on our first trip: those amazing Alaska Grizzly Bears up close and personal, fishing for King Salmon on the Kenai River, and an up-close viewing of Denali (Mt. McKinley).
This photo of a glacier on Denali was taken (July 25, 2004) with a Canon Point & Shoot camera through the window of a small plane. Not the greatest shot, but still brings a smile as I remember the wonderful experience that is Alaska !!

Corsewall Lighthouse is a lighthouse at Corsewall Point, Kirkcolm near Stranraer in the region of Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland. First lit in 1817, it overlooks the North Channel of the Irish Sea. The definition of the name Corsewall is the place or well of the Cross.
Although still operational as a. Lighthouse it is also now a Hotel
Ard Neackie is a small scenic peninsula on the east side of Loch Eriboll joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus and has an interesting history of lime quarrying (from the outcropping Durness Limestone), lime kilns, and as former home to the Heilam Ferry across Loch Eriboll.

The building of this three arch bridge, was started in 1759 and completed by 1761, carries the main drive over the River Derwent up to the house. The bridge was carefully angled so as to be seen from the house and orientated in such a way as to provide that last, striking view to the house from the entrance drive.
