Highland, Isle of Skye, Duntulm Castle The ruins of Duntulm Castle stand on a rocky headland on the north coast of the Isle of Skye close to the hamlet of Duntulm. This area was subject to numerous feuds between the MacDonald and MacLeod clans, the castle was finally abandoned in approximately 1732. A local legend suggests that the castle was abandoned after the son of the chieftain who was in the care of a nursemaid fell from a window to the rocks below and died. The nursemaid it is said was set adrift on the sea in a small rowing boat as punishment. File 7366 Keywords: Duntulm, Castle, Isle, of Skye, seascape, headland, rocky. File 7366

Numerous bays and inlets surround the area giving shelter to many small boats.

Aberdeenshire, Sandend Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Sandend in Aberdeenshire was a thriving fishing village. The earliest recorded mention of Sandend is in 1624. With it's harbour reputedly being the smallest in Scotland Sandend supported several smoke houses and two fish merchants, namely Smith's and McKay's. Only Smith's now retain their premises in Sandend following McKay's relocation to Buckie. The fisherman's cottages located near the small harbour are typical of the area and are built with their gable ends facing seaward. The vast majority of these are now used as holiday homes. Chatting to three local men one evening they explained that only three families now live full time in the village itself. As it's name suggests Sandend has a large sandy bay and with it's caravan park Sandend has become a popular destination for holidaymakers. File 0515.
