The image top is of the Car Park for the
Rigg Viewpoint, has been re-surfaced since this
photo was taken, although still an odd pothole
here and there.
The second and third images are looking East
and North. The flat area down there looks like
a championship standard Links Golf Course, but
must be kept in such condition by Sheep
grazing.
The view south is also impressive with
Portree in the distance, and the Storr Pinnacle
only 3 miles south.
This area is the most scenic area on the
east coast of Skye, with some people claiming
it is the best viewpoint in Scotland, as you can
see mainland Scotland, Isle of Rona, Isle of
Raasay, Holm Island, Red and Black Cuillin
Mountains, Trotternish Ridge and the Old Man of
Storr.
