The wild West Highlands
Those clear, turquoise waters lapping against a white sand beach might suggest this secluded spot is in the Caribbean. Actually, we’re hovering over the outskirts of Portuairk in the West Highlands, the most westerly settlement in mainland Britain. Less than three miles south of here is the most westerly point, the Corrachadh Mòr headland, which sticks out 23 miles further west than Land’s End.
