The Best Attractions In Strontian
Strontian is the main village in Sunart, an area in western Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, on the A861 road. Prior to 1975 it was part of Argyllshire. It lies on the north shore of Loch Sunart, close to the head of the loch. In the hills to the north of Strontian lead was mined in the 18th century and in these mines the mineral strontianite was discovered, from which the element strontium was first isolated.

7. Glen Etive Glencoe Village
Glen Coe is a glen of volcanic origins, in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies in the north of the county of Argyll, close to the border with the historic province of Lochaber, within the modern council area of Highland. The scenic beauty of the glen has led to its inclusion in the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area, one of 40 such areas in Scotland. A review of the national scenic areas by Scottish Natural Heritage in 2010 made reference to the soaring, dramatic splendour of Glen Coe, and the suddenness of the transition between high mountain pass and the lightly wooded strath in the lower glen. It also described the journey through the glen on the main A82 road as one of the classic Highland journeys. The main settlement is the village of Glencoe located at the foot of the glen. ...

11. Ice Factor Kinlochleven
Kinlochleven is a village located in Lochaber, in the Scottish Highlands and lies at the eastern end of Loch Leven. To the north lie the Mamores ridge; to the south lie the mountains flanking Glen Coe. The village was formed from two previously separate small communities - Kinlochmore to the north of the River Leven in Inverness-shire and Kinlochbeg to the south of the Leven in Argyll - following the construction of an aluminium smelter and associated housing for its employees. The processing plant was powered by a hydroelectric scheme situated in the mountains above, and made Kinlochleven the first village in the world to have every house connected to electricity, coining the phrase The Electric Village. In 1991, the village had just over 1000 inhabitants in some 420 households. Today it ...

A39 Bath to Falmouth entire length time lapse
A journey from Bath to Falmouth along the entire length of the A39 road in South West England. The road starts at a roundabout to the west of Bath and heads to Wells and through Glastonbury, then crosses the M5 to Bridgwater then follows the North Devon coast around Minehead and Lynton and to Ilfracombe. The road then turns south to Barnstaple and heads into Cornwall, going close to Newquay. A short gap where the road joins the A30, before turning off around Truro and heading south to Falmouth where the journey ends.Unfortunately, the part of the journey that skirts around the steep hill heading west out of Lynton was closed by the police when I did the road, so I had to make a U-turn and go the quicker route up the hill, joining the A39 again a couple of miles later. Hopefully this doesn't spoil the video too much!
