St Fingal's Seat, Portree, Isle of Skye

Suidh Fhinn, Ait-Suidhe-Thuin, or Fingal's Seat (312 m, 1367 ft) rises behind Portree to give wonderful views from the top to the east over the village, bay and across to the island of Raasay, with the mainland beyond. The photograph here of a cairn, looks south to the Cuillin. This image may be available to purchase.
