This LandSat satellite image shows the Ardnamurchan peninsula from space.
Kilchoan is marked with a yellow circle. To the south of Kilchoan, across the Sound of Mull, lies the Isle of Mull and Tobermory. The land in the southeast corner of the image is Morvern, part of the Scottish mainland.
Clearly visible to the north of Kilchoan are the rings of rock formed by the great Ardnamurchan volcano which erupted some 60 million years ago. A new exhibition, describing the fascinating billion-year geological history of Ardnamurchan, has just opened at the Lighthouse Visitors' Centre.
The western end of the peninsula forms the most westerly point on the British mainland. The white blotches at the northwest corner are the beautiful white sand beaches of Sanna and Bay MacNeil.
