Lismore scene near Castle Coeffin People walking to or from the dramatic Castle Coeffin use the path just to the left of the dry-stane dyke. The field in the foreground is boggy with lots of meadowsweet - like very many other spots at this time of year. The hills in the distance are on the mainland, on the far side of Loch Linnhe.

Road to Balnagown The 'main' road, that runs the length of Lismore, runs left to right across the picture. To the left side we see the junction with the road that runs to Balnagown (and comes to an end there). The photo was taken from just in front of the cafe at the Lismore historical museum.

Approaching Tirefour broch The Iron Age broch of Tirefour is in an excellent state of repair. As seen here it stands clearly in view as one approaches along the ridge from the Achnacroish direction.
