My top 20 beaches of 2024. No 2. Red Point, Wester Ross. My first beach in 2019 and the inspiration for the whole project. Returning in 2024, it was even more spectacular than I remembered 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No 3. Sanna Bay, Ardnamurchan. Gloriously unspoilt and magical. The whole peninsula is an absolute joy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No 5. Smirisary Beach, Lochaber. What this project is all about. A 2-mile coastal hike to a deserted turquoise cove with spectacular views (and seals)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No 6. Torrisdale Beach, Sutherland. The first of three re-visits in my top six. A superb Autumn walk to magnificent Torrisdale, rapidly becoming one of my all-time favourites 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No 7. Cul na Croise, Ardnamurchan. A true wilderness beach, requiring a long walk and some scrambling to reach, but all the better for it. Hard to find, harder to leave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No 8. Bay MacNeil, Ardnamurchan. What a walk this was across the western edge of the peninsula to the Ardnamurchan lighthouse via stunning Bay MacNeil 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No 9. Peedie Sands, Caithness. Small, secluded, slightly secret and with a dramatic cliff-top walk thrown in. Perfect, even on a dull day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One from the dunes

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No.11. Whitemill Bay, Sanday, Orkney. There’s an ‘edge of the world’ feel to this superb bay at the northern tip of Sanday. One of the finest walking circuits on the island 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No.12. Dunnet Bay, Caithness. Popular north coast big-hitter. I got lucky for an hour on an otherwise overcast day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No.16. Camas nan Geall, Ardnamurchan. No white powder sand or rolling dunes here, but this one is all about the location. A stunning introduction to Ardnamurchan on the long road into the peninsula 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No.17: Strathy Bay, Sutherland. One of the great north coast beaches. Rocks, caves, dunes, cliffs and huge rollers! Just superb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My top 20 beaches of 2024. No.18: Freswick Bay, Caithness. There aren’t too many beaches on this rugged north east coast but my favourite is this gem of a bay complete with its own overlooking castle. A lone seal followed my walk along the shore here 🦭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
