Good Morning from Scotland 

Ben Loyal Sunrise I by Photo Monkey Via Flickr: This is one of a set of four sunrise shots taken from Sgòr Chaonasaid, which is the northern most peak of Ben Loyal. Monty and I had spent the previous night up there hoping to capture both the sunset and sunrise. Unfortunately, as is often the case, only one of the two put in a noteworthy appearance.

Castle Varrich, Highland, Scotland

Castle Varrich's (Caisteal Bharraich) precise origin and date are unknown. The ruins are located in the far north of the Scottish highlands near the village of Tongue on a local high point of rock overlooking both the Kyle of Tongue and the village of Tongue. Varrich Castle has spectacular views of mountains Ben Loyal and Ben Hope.

The castle was the ancient seat of the Clan Mackay and it is possible that they built the castle over the site of an old Norse fort sometime in the 14th century or later.  Little is known about its history.

One last shot for today, looking out across Loch Meadie to the impressively craggy Ben Loyal in the distance.
