Lone tree by the shoreline The small inlet here is called Saideil Tòrr a' Bheithe, which according to a well known translation website is something to do with 'birch torrid satellites,' and I'm pretty confident that only the 'birch' part of that translation makes any sense. Houses at Arisaig can just be spotted in the distance.
