Ramarageo is a prominent headland located in Ross-shire, a county in the northern part of Scotland. Situated on the eastern coast, this coastal feature juts out into the North Sea, offering breathtaking views and a unique geological formation.

Standing at an elevation of around 100 meters above sea level, Ramarageo is characterized by its steep cliffs that overlook the surrounding waters. These cliffs are composed of rugged sandstone and shale, displaying various layers of sedimentary rock that have been shaped by erosion over thousands of years. The headland's exposed rock formations are a testament to the area's geological history and provide a rich resource for geologists and nature enthusiasts alike.

The coastal feature is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The cliff faces provide nesting sites for seabirds such as kittiwakes, fulmars, and guillemots, while the surrounding waters are inhabited by seals and dolphins. The headland's coastal grasslands are dotted with wildflowers, creating a vibrant and picturesque landscape.

Ramarageo is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers, offering several walking trails that provide stunning views of the coastline and the nearby coastal villages. The headland's strategic location also makes it an ideal spot for birdwatching, with many rare and migratory species being spotted throughout the year.

In conclusion, Ramarageo is a remarkable coastal feature that encompasses the natural beauty and geological significance of Ross-shire. Its towering cliffs, diverse wildlife, and stunning views make it a must-visit location for anyone exploring the Scottish coastline.

Tolstachaolais: the post office

While many post offices have a buzzer which sounds as the door opens, the postmistress here is alerted to the arrival of customers by the loud bark of the dog tethered to the outside wall.

Tolstachaolais: along the shore of Loch a' Bhaile

Looking across the loch, which runs alongside the road through the village. However, this is the far side that we are looking along.

Tolstachaolais: postbox № HS2 62

This postbox stands more or less in the centre of the village, in front of a house that is set particularly well back from the road. The larger-scale map still marks that house as a post office, although it has actually (as reflected in the 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 map) relocated just over a kilometre to the north - see NB1939 : Tolstachaolais: the post office.
