Eas a’ Chual Aluinn
Eas a’ Chual Aluinn is the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom, located in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. The waterfall has a sheer drop of 200 meters (660 feet) and is about four times taller than Niagara Falls. It can be reached by a 6-mile (10-kilometer) walk across boggy ground from the road 3 miles (5 kilometers) south of Kylesku in Sutherland. In good weather, a boat-trip runs from the slipway by the Kylesku Hotel to Loch Beag, from where the waterfall is visible. Eas a’ Chual Aluinn is also known as the “waterfall of the beautiful tresses” in Scottish Gaelic. The view from the top of the waterfall is breathtaking, with the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area visible in the distance

Gruinard Bay
Gruinard Bay is a large, remote coastal embayment located in northwestern Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. The bay is approximately 5.5 miles long along its western shore and 4.5 miles long on its eastern shore, forming an L shape. It is situated 12 miles north of Poolewe and is in the former parish of Lochbroom. The bay overlooks the infamous Gruinard Island (the island is best known for its association with biological warfare testing during World War II, which rendered the island dangerous for all mammals until it was decontaminated in 1990), which is 0.68 miles (1 km) offshore, at the eastern side of the bay. The Summer Isles are visible to the northeast
