Any ideas where?

I'm hoping the landscape/ ruin might help identify/ pinpoint where this is - I'm assuming somewhere in Scotland

Thanks so much! I am following in my late fathers footsteps and tracking down places from his thousands of slides, photos and negatives. Got approx 15 places to visit all across Scotland (and he got to them all without a car, so I've no excuse!)

Thanks again little Nell

Ooh, goody - a challenge!  ;D

Took the ferry from Kyleakin to Kyle of Lochalsh a good few years ago now, but remember the view.  Haven't taken the trip across the bridge yet.

I'll be staying at Kyleakin for a couple of nights the week after next.  I saw a pine marten there in 2011.  Apparently, they were unknown on the island before the bridge was built. :)
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

The bridge has made Skye far more accessible and, consequently, nowadays, the place is plagued with mini-bus loads of tourists.
