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.

Dun Scolpaig - North Uist - Outer Hebrides
Located in Loch Scolpaig, Dun Scolpaig is a folly that was built on the site of an Iron Age broch in the 1830s by Dr Alexander MacLeod. The original broch, the stone of which was used to build the folly, was the scene of a murderous family feud between members of the MacDonalds during the 16th century. The tower is only accessible during certain months of the year via a stone causeway.
