True-colour satellite image of northern Scotland
Northern Scotland. Satellite image of northern Scotland. The colours approximate to natural tones. North is at top. The city of Inverness is at lower right, but the rest of the region is sparsely populated. The mainland is largely covered by the Highlands, which contain some of the highest points in the British isles. The rugged coastline includes the Moray Firth sea inlet (at lower right) and the Dunnet Head peninsula (at top right); the latter is the most northerly part of the British mainland. Islands that lie off the mainlands coast include Skye (at bottom right) and Lewis (at upper left). Image taken by a Landsat-5 satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking true-colour satellite image captures the enchanting beauty of northern Scotland in all its natural glory. The vibrant hues depicted in this print closely resemble the actual tones found in this picturesque region. With the north positioned at the top, one can easily spot the charming city of Inverness nestled at the lower right corner, while vast stretches of sparsely populated land dominate the rest of the area. The mainland is predominantly covered by majestic Highlands, boasting some of Britain's highest peaks that punctuate its rugged terrain. Alongside this landscape lies a dramatic coastline adorned with notable features such as the Moray Firth sea inlet, gracefully showcased at lower right, and Dunnet Head peninsula majestically crowning the top right corner - marking it as the most northerly point on mainland Britain. As our gaze extends beyond these remarkable landmarks, we catch glimpses of islands that grace Scotland's coastlines. Skye Island captivates us with its allure at bottom right while Lewis Island beckons from upper left. This awe-inspiring image was captured by a Landsat-5 satellite and serves as a testament to Earth's mesmerizing wonders. It allows us to appreciate Scotland's unique blend of untamed wilderness and serene coastal vistas from an extraordinary perspective. Let your imagination soar as you immerse yourself in this visual masterpiece brought to you by Science Photo Library.
