Bay of Skaill - Orkney Islands

Sandy beach and coastal prairie at the Bay of Skaill

Dist:0.4km
Note the beach bluff erosion at image right; this phenomenon is quite significant since similar erosion has recently occurred slightly to the south at the Skara Brae Neolithic village, endangering the integrity of that ancient site.
