Tour Scotland Photograph St Ninians Isle Tombolo Shetland Islands

Tour Scotland photograph of St. Ninians Isle tombolo, connecting St Ninian to Mainland, South Mainland, Shetland Islands, Scotland. A tombolo, often called, ayre, is a deposition landform in which an island is attached to the mainland by a narrow piece of land such as a spit or bar. During the summer the tombolo is above sea level and accessible to walkers. During winter, stronger wave action removes sand from the beach so that it is usually covered at high tide, and occasionally throughout the tidal cycle, until the sand is returned the following Spring.

Tour Scotland Photographs Loch Of The Lowes

Tour Scotland photograph of Loch Of The Lowes, Perthshire, Scotland. Loch of the Lowes Wildlife Reserve covers 98 hectares and from early April to late August the star attraction is a pair of breeding ospreys.


Osprey, a sleek raptor with tapering wings and with white, grey and black markings that can make it superficially seem a little like a seagull when in flight. Call is high-pitched, also somewhat reminiscent of a seabird. However, with sharp talons and a hooked beak this is clearly a very efficient bird of prey.
