Description
A Highland stream tumbles down to one of the pretty bays along the Durness coast in the far north of Scotland. This is Ceannabeinne (Gaelic for the end of the mountains), a ruined village of which only the old school house (just visible, top left) remains. Like so many Highland communities, the people living here were forcibly evicted in the 1840s to clear the land for sheep farming.
