Old photograph of a passenger bus on the road from Ose, Isle Of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. Ose, Scottish Gaelic: Òs, is a small coastal settlement of Loch Bracadale. It lies on the west coast of the Isle of Skye between Dunvegan and Struan; the A863 road passes through Ose between Dunvegan to the north and the Skye Bridge to the South and East.

Old photograph of the ferry at Pirnmill, Isle of Arran,Scotland. This Scottish village originally made a living through fishing or crofting, but later the village became a tourist destination, with many Clyde steamers stopping at the pier constructed there. This declined after the construction of a pier at Lochranza on the north of the island. Pirnmill no longer has a jetty or a harbour; boats are simply pulled up the beach.

Tour Scotland video of the Northern Lights off the coast of Scotland. The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is a spectacular natural phenomenon which can occasionally be seen in the night sky over Britain. In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis, or the northern lights, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Galileo in 1619. Auroras seen within the auroral oval may be directly overhead, but from farther away they illuminate the poleward horizon as a greenish glow, or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. The best places to see the Northern Lights in Scotland include; Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands, Caithness, Aberdeenshire and the Moray Coast, Isle of Lewis, Isle Harris in the Outer Hebrides and the most northerly tip of Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, the far north west of Scotland, Wester Ross, the Cairngorms, Galloway Forest Park, Ranoch Moor and Perthshire, Angus and the coast of Fife, Calton Hill or Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh.

Tour Scotland video of a drive to the Red Cuillin mountains on ancestry visit to the Isle Of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. The Red Hills, Na Beanntan Dearga in Gaelic, are also known as the Red Cuillin. They are mainly composed of granite which is paler than the gabbro, with a reddish tinge from some angles in some lights, and has weathered into more rounded hills with vegetation cover to summit level and long scree slopes on their flanks. The highest point is Glamaig, one of only two mountains between 2,500 and 3,000 feet on Skye, the other being Garbh-bheinn, part of the small group of gabbro outliers surrounding Blà Bheinn.
