Achnahaird Bay
Achnahaird Bay is located on the Coigach peninsula, Wester Ross, Scotland, and can be reached by following the road to the scattered settlement of Achiltibuie. The beautiful, wide sandy beach and stunning views of the mountains Stac Pollaidh, Canisp and Suilven mean the area is popular with tourists (and locals) on hot summer days. Achnahaird Bay was used as a filming location for the 2011 film The Eagle, with a horse chase scene across the beach.
Tanera Mòr
Tanera Mòr is an inhabited island in Loch Broom in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is the largest of the Summer Isles and the only inhabited island in that group. Tanera Mòr is notable for issuing its own postage stamps and as the location for Frank Fraser Darling's book Island Years.
Ullapool bolide impact
Evidence for a bolide impact centered on Ullapool was published by a combined team of scientists from the University of Oxford and the University of Aberdeen, in March 2008. The evidence is centred on Ullapool, a harbour town on Loch Broom in the Ross and Cromarty district of the Highland council area of northwest Scotland. This suggests it was the largest bolide impact ever to strike what are now the British Isles.
Badentarbat Bay
Badentarbat Bay, or Badentarbet Bay, is a bay in northern Scotland. The city of Achiltibuie overlooks it. Marian Leven painted scenes of the bay.
