Calum Gillies, an artist who grew up on the Isle of Raasay, off Skye, says the best viewpoint on the island is Temptation Hill, behind Raasay House.

From the top, he says, there are 'amazing panoramas all the way up to the Old Man of Storr' across the water on Skye. The hill rises close to the walled garden, directly above the island's Pictish stone, and the climb to its summit is short, sharp and, yes, tempting. The view runs down towards a hidden beach and out across the Sound of Raasay. Calum runs The Exchange, a small gallery and coffee stop in the old telephone exchange at Clachan, with his wife Leonie, and he says Raasay may be small, but it is worth the 25-minute crossing.

What Temptation Hill looks like in autumn.

Close to the walled garden and directly above the Pictish Stone, a short, sharp climb brings you to the summit of Temptation Hill, which gives cracking views down towards a hidden beach, and across the Sound of Raasay to Skye.
