A view from the south-east of Stac Pollaidh or "Stack Polly", north of Ullapool in Wester Ross. At 2,008ft or 612m in height, this is a mountain that easily makes up in character and charm for what it lacks in stature.

The impressive 3.2m high Maiden Stone in Aberdeenshire. This Pictish symbol stone is thought to have been carved in the 800s.

The magnificent Dunnottar Castle on the Aberdeenshire coast south of Stonehaven.

Scalloway Castle, seen in dramatic light, was built to exercise control over Shetland in 1600. Its surroundings, once sea on three sides, have changed considerably since it was built and it is now right next to Scalloway's busy harbour.
