My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

This evocative image of a stag silhouetted against a sunset represents so much about Applecross. Taken again on a hillside just above the main village, the majestic animal appears to be standing, taking in the beautiful sunset colours the west coast of Scotland is famous for.

This is a photograph of the Cuillin hills on the Isle of Skye from a hillside above the mains of Applecross. These hills are also a defining view from the place and many hours are taken up by locals and visitors alike, imagining and contemplating while the scene before them constantly changes and is never the same twice.

This photograph of a winter mountaineer on the ridge of Liathach (an impressive mountain just north of Applecross) represents some of what the tourist industry is about in the small communities on the west coast. The human impact is negligible and red deer, a golden eagle and countless other species were sighted very close by on the ascent.
