Elphin Bothy, with Suilven in the distance, Assynt

Elphin Bothy, Northwest Highlands. Located in the village of Elphin, this building sits with the spectacular peaks of Assynt in the distance. It is often mistakenly referred to as a bothy, whereas in reality it is a dog kennel. Built for the 1st Duke of Sutherland, it was used for the dogs used in the various hunts undertaken in the surrounding landscape.

Photos from my trip to Ardvreck Castle on the shore of Loch Assynt, in the highlands of Scotland. Though involved in many clan feuds, it is most famous as the place the Earl of Montrose fled to in 1650 following his first and final defeat at the battle of Carbisdale. The castle’s owner was an old friend, however he was absent when Montrose arrived, and rather than welcome him his wife had the earl incarcerated. Montrose was transported to Edinburgh, where he was hung, drawn and quartered.

Suilven. An awesome drone shot of an iconic mountain in Assynt. On my bucket list to do before I can't climb any more.
