The gorgeous River Sheil runs 3 miles through attractive low ground farming and crofting countryside on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in the Scottish Highlands. At this particular spot, a single-arched stone bridge built in 1804 spans over the river, creating a picturesque scene as you pass by.

The western end of Camusdarach beach has a couple of rocky headlands which cut off sections of the beach at high tide. It's not very hard to scramble over them to get back, or follow the paths inland over the dunes.

Old bridge over the River Shiel - narrow bridge - only one car fits through. On the side is a small path down to the River Shiel.

If you spend any time at all in the hills above Loch Shiel, you’ll find cairns that mark the places where coffins (and their carriers) once rested on what were once known as coffin roads. These three are marked on Ornance Survey maps as “Captain Robertson’s Cairns.” When Captain WJ Robertson of Kinlochmoidart died in 1869, his body was carried along this route, taken down to the water, and rowed by boat, to be buried on St Finan’s isle. https://www.komoot.de/highlight/901235 These three cairns don’t just represent one human, though, but the countless inhabitants of this landscape who were once carried, mourned, and laid to rest on the burial island in the loch. Highland parishes once covered huge areas, with relatively few spots consecrated for burial, and bodies were, by necessity, carried long distances over what was (and remains) very difficult terrain. It is no wonder that so many cairns and placenames in this part of the world (for example, Corpach / A’ Chorpaich / field of corpses) commemorate the temporary resting places of mourners and bodies on the coffin roads. - https://kddandco.com/2021/12/06/loch-shiel - https://her.highland.gov.uk/monument/MHG53547 - https://canmore.org.uk/site/332480/captain-robertsons-cairns

Old bridge over the River Moidart - for cyclists and pedestrians only - next to a narrow car bridge.

St. Mary's Church can be seen in the distance, and is one of the bigger buildings in the village, dating to 1849. It dwarfs the much smaller and older parish church ruins near the cemetery.
