Old photograph of the Post Office in Dunecht located 12 miles West of Aberdeen, Scotland. Formerly known as Waterton, it was renamed to Dunecht in the 1820s when the Crawford family built Dunecht House. The estate achieved a certain measure of notoriety in 1881 due to theft of the remains of the Alexander Lindsay, 25th Earl of Crawford.

Old photograph of Loch Nevis in Lochaber, Scotland. Loch Nevis is sea loch which runs inland from the Sound of Sleat, and is bounded by the peninsula of Knoydart to the north and North Morar to the south. Two ferry services cross Loch Nevis. One, a small passenger ferry, links the town of Mallaig with the village of Inverie on Knoydart and the hamlet of Tarbet. The other, Knoydart Seabridge, a daily ferry service which can transport vehicles as well as passengers and equipment, sails directly between Mallaig and Inverie. The ferry operated by Caledonian MacBrayne to the Small Isles from Mallaig is named after the loch, the MV Lochnevis.
