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.

Slaggan Bay - Wester Ross
This Bay is located in Slaggan, which is at the end of an unmade road, just under 3 miles off the Laide to Mellon Udrigle Road. Slaggan was a typical crofting village which at one time had a school and teacher. However by the time of the second world war the population had dwindled to six. The last family to live there were the Mackenzies from Achgarve who built the house where the gable ends remain in 1936 with help from the Crofting Commission. This house burnt down in 1942/3 and the family moved permanently to Achgarve leaving the village deserted.
