"Gairloch _ Wester Ross _ Highlands _ Scotland" Gairloch by rsean

In the Highlands of Scotland during late June the sun barely sets. It dips below the horizon for a few hours but some rays of light still manage to escape over the horizon. On a cloudless night you can see all night without artificial light.

Gairloch is a village in Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands. It is a beautiful village with palm, trees, a small harbour and long sandy beaches. There are bars and restaurants and guest houses a plenty.

This picture was taken on 9th June 2007 around 10pm. Biba and Vanja from Zagreb, Croatia with Russell on the road high above the golden sands of Gairloch.
