Nèill Geodha Clann is a prominent headland located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. Situated along the rugged coastline, this coastal feature offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape and the North Sea.

Dùn from Ruabhal A classic view of Dùn. I had a memorable day on Dùn not helped by falling into the sea when being landed. It is lucky my camera survived to take these images later.
