In the final days of Autumn, deciduous trees almost completely naked now, the dying bracken's vibrant colour on the hills lifted an ordinary overcast day into something special, aided by the lighter band of cloud to give drama to the sky.
This part of Gairloch, known locally as Strath, is backed by Achtercairn Hill. Running right to left is the main road which if followed to its end becomes single track and eventually arrives at Rubha Reidh lighthouse. This view was taken from the sand dunes above the beach beside the Gairloch golf course.
