Coldbackie beach pictured from above, just off the A836. Coldbackie is a crofting township in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The land that can be seen at the top of the image is, I believe the island of Eilean Nan Ron, meaning island of the seals and in fact around 350 seal pups are born there each year. The island is uninhabited. The climb down to Colbackie beach is quite steep but it is a beautiful hidden gem with views of the Rabbit Islands just out of the image on the left.

The Causeway - Weston Super Mare. As you can see the tide regularly makes crossing impossible so care needs to be taken. The link is -@Watch Your Step' by Elvis Costello www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyqvdfgv6-o

Birnbeck Island. I have memories of this pier when it was still in use and paddle steamer boat trips that left from here. It is sad to see it broken and neglected.
