The Skye Bridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid an Eilein Sgitheanaich) is a road bridge over Loch Alsh, Scotland, connecting the Isle of Skye to the island of Eilean Bàn. The name is also used for the whole Skye Crossing, which further connects Eilean Bàn to the mainland across the Carrich Viaduct. The crossing forms part of the A87. Traditionally, the usual route from the mainland to Skye was the shortest crossing, with a length of around 500 metres (1,640 ft), across the sound between the villages of Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland and Kyleakin on the island's east coast. A ferry service operated from around 1600, run by private operators and latterly by Caledonian MacBrayne. On completion of the bridge in 1995 the ferry service was discontinued. The Quiraing (in Gaelic: A' Chuith-Raing) is a landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base, near Flodigarry, requires repairs each year. The name Quiraing comes from Old Norse 'Kví Rand', which means "Round Fold". Camera operator for the bridge crossing - Pat S.

Scarborough’s lighthouse stands on Vincent’s Pier, completed in 1752 and named after its engineer, William Vincent, The lighthouse, first constructed 1801-06, was seriously damaged during the bombardment of Scarborough by German cruisers on December 16th 1914. The lighthouse tower had to be dismantled and was rebuilt in 1931. Thank you everyone for your visits, kind comments and stars, they are all very much appreciated.

The red roofed buildings in the background make up one of the oldest parts of Scarborough, know locally as the 'Bottom End'. It is situated on the lower part of the hills upon which Scarborough is built, hence the name. The church of St Mary's above the harbour and the old town was built in the 12th century. It is the resting place of of Anne Bronte, English novelist and poet, who died in Scarborough in 1849. The yachts are berthed in the East Harbour by the lighthouse. As can be seen the tide is low revealing the rather muddy harbour bottom.
