sunrise on Shanwick beach, a very still and enjoyable experience. Shandwick is at the end of the Great Glen fault and famed for fossils, although in a morning like this you can feel the history commune with the force of nature

Port an Righ Where the stream flows to the shore is the spot where mariners used to bring their ships in and anchor them to the rocks. Indeed at certain tide levels it is possible to find a large iron ring secured to one of the boulders for just this purpose. In the 19th Century a proper harbour was developed at Balintore just over a mile up the coast.

Cave and cliff close to Port an Righ The Easter Ross coastal scenery is rugged and unfrequented. There are many such rocky bluffs like this with impressive caves hollowed out by the pounding sea.
