    Great pictures. I love the Highlands landscape and the volcanic basalt on Skye is particularly spectacular. Shot this last year on Skye:

    Hmm.

    1. Portugal
    2.Portugal
    3.Portugal
    4. Scotland
    5.Portugal
    6. Scotland

    Admittedly I had to look for other clues in the landscape.

    Definitely on in the top 10 of the places I want to visit in a near future (with other parts of the UK too), wonderful!
    I would hike there, although I have heard it's full of midges.

    Very pretty, Kadu. I was thinking to myself that I hadn't seen any terraced land like that anywhere in Scotland. But, I did come across a reference somewhere (can't remember where at the moment) about evidence of terracing like that somewhere in Ireland....dating back to the height of the Neolithic in some cases.

    How far back do these Portuguese field systems date, I wonder?
