Rubha Àird Druimnich is a prominent headland located in Argyllshire, Scotland. Situated on the western coast of the country, it juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The headland is characterized by its steep cliffs, which rise dramatically from the crashing waves below.

The name Rubha Àird Druimnich translates to "point of the ridge of the drumming" in English, likely referring to the rhythmic sound of the waves hitting the cliffs. The area is rich in natural beauty, with rugged terrain and an abundance of wildlife. It is a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts, as various species of seabirds can be observed nesting and fishing along the headland.

The headland is also home to a lighthouse, which serves as a navigational aid for ships navigating the treacherous waters off the coast. The lighthouse, with its distinctive white and red stripes, stands tall and provides a striking contrast against the rugged backdrop of the cliffs.

Visitors to Rubha Àird Druimnich can enjoy hiking along the coastal path that meanders around the headland, taking in the panoramic views and immersing themselves in the tranquility of the surroundings. The area is also a popular spot for photographers, who are drawn to the dramatic cliffs, crashing waves, and stunning sunsets that can be witnessed from this vantage point.

Overall, Rubha Àird Druimnich is a captivating coastal feature, offering a glimpse into the natural beauty and rugged charm of the Argyllshire coastline.

Loch Sunart Off the B8006 near Glenbeg (on the road to the Kilchoan Ferry).  I
believe the low-lying island of Oronsay is in the middle ground with the
western part of Morvern and Beinn Bhuide behind.
