Wilderness Walking - The Knoydart Peninsula
For those who haven't been to the Knoydart Peninsula and surrounding islands (and, presumably by extension, all the Highlands), please consider that most photos do not do justice - the scale, perspective and constantly changing quality of light are breath-taking. The knockout food and kind lodging hosts were added bonuses.
