Raasay
Raasay is a picturesque island located off the west coast of Scotland, known for its rugged landscapes, stunning coastline, and rich history. The island is a popular destination for photographers, offering a range of unique and breathtaking locations to capture. From the iconic Calum's Road, a winding single-track road that offers stunning views of the island's rugged coastline, to the dramatic cliffs of the north coast, Raasay is a photographer's paradise. Other popular photography locations on the island include the abandoned village of Hallaig, the historic Raasay House, and the tranquil waters of Loch na Mna.
Brochel Castle sits precariously on a Lava outcrop on the Isle of Raasay’s north eastern shore, probably built around 1518 and first mentioned by Donald (Dean) Monro in 1547, It was probably built by “Calum Garbh” Raasay’s 1st Macleod Chief who had been bestowed the Isle’s of Raasay and Rona by his father, Calum MacLeod 9th Chief of Lewis. The Castle, looks out across the “Inner Sound” to the remote village of Applecross in Wester Ross Scotland.
