Loch Tuath
(Scottish Gaelic: Loch-a-Tuath) is a sea loch in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland that separates the isle of Mull and the island of Ulva. Loch Tuath forms part of the Loch na Keal National Scenic Area, one of the forty national scenic areas in Scotland, which are defined so as to identify areas of exceptional scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development.

Rubha nan Gall lighthouse
is located north of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. The name means "Stranger's Point" in Scottish Gaelic. It was built in 1857 by David and Thomas Stevenson and is operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board. The lighthouse was automated in 1960 and the nearby former keepers' cottages are privately owned.

Staffa
Staffa is an island of the Inner Hebrides in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The Vikings gave it this name as its columnar basalt reminded them of their houses, which were built from vertically placed tree-logs.

The island came to prominence in the late 18th century after a visit by Sir Joseph Banks. He and his fellow-travellers extolled the natural beauty of the basalt columns in general and of the island's main sea cavern, which Banks renamed 'Fingal's Cave'. Their visit was followed by those of many other prominent personalities throughout the next two centuries, including Queen Victoria and Felix Mendelssohn. The latter's Hebrides Overture brought further fame to the island, which was by then uninhabited.

Scottish Beauty
Schön in Szene gesetztes schottisches Hochlandrind in der Abendsonne. Der Wind verweht das langhaarige Fell, so dass ein Auge neckisch freigelegt wird.
Beautifully presented Scottish highland cattle in the evening sun. The wind blows away the long-haired fur, teasingly revealing one eye.
