  • The image of a once-famous stag who used to be fed by tourists and the owner of the Oasis cafe on the A82 on Rannoch Moor but shot many times with an air gun by juvenile New Year revellers. Looking out onto the moors it roamed in life, the deer named Big Boy by locals had an insatiable appetite for scraps from outdoor snack bar owner MacDonald and his customers, the stag inched ever closer to the migrant humanity alongside the road. So locally famous did he become that one Hogmanay, the beast was shot several times by air gun-toting juveniles and is now a tragic, posthumous print on the same tourist cafe trailer. Now holidaymakers, unaware of the animal's life and death near this spot, merely stop to photograph the scenery in the hope of seeing the nearby herd that Big Boy ruled over.

  • A lone walker passes by a partially-collapsed broken sign announcing the summit of Rannoch Moor, Scotland UK, 1,350 feet above sea level. He is hunched against a driving wind at this altitude and the country he is walking over is bleak and boggy, a wetland high up in the Scottish Highlands. Thick tufts of grass and moss lie about in this tough terrain, held in great affection for long-distance hikers. Rannoch Moor is a large expanse of around 50 square miles (130 km²) of boggy moorland to the west of Loch Rannoch, in Perth and Kinross and Lochaber, Highland, partly northern Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Rannoch Moor is designated a National Heritage site.
