National Scenic Areas (Scotland)
There are 40 National Scenic Areas in Scotland, covering 13% of the country's land area which include spectacular mountain ranges, like the Skye Cuillins, Ben Nevis and Glencoe, island landscapes in the Hebrides and Northern Isles and richly diverse scenery such as in Perthshire, the Scottish Borders, and Dumfries and Galloway. The designation’s purpose is both to identify the finest scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development.
They are broadly equivalent to the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty found in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Spilt Rock and Salmon Bothy - Clachtoll - Sutherland
Set against the unusual rock formation of "Split Rock" in the background this shows the old salmon bothy and the poles that were used to hang the nets on to dry. It was part of the Clachtoll Salmon Station and was used by salmon fishermen during the 19th and 20th centuries but was closed in 1994. It has been preserved by the Assynt Historical Society and is now a small museum with displays showing how the salmon station was used
