Just a short drive round the head land from Applecross is this sandy beach, the sand dune on the left must be at least 50ft high. Stretching the width of the picture is the Island of Raasay and behind that is the Island of Skye. The building you see on the left the range control building for BUTEC (The British Underwater Test and Evaluation Centre. The Royal navy uses the Sound of Raasay for testing how quiet its submarines are.
