North Gaulton Castle, Sea stack in Orkney Islands, Scotland.
North Gaulton Castle rises 165 feet from the water as a red sandstone formation along the western coast of the Orkney mainland.
The geological structure has been shaped over millions of years by the forces of wind and water, creating its current configuration.
Local photographers and artists frequently capture this natural formation as it represents the raw natural elements of the Scottish coastline.
Access to North Gaulton Castle requires a one-mile walk across open fields from Mousland Farm, following signs toward Birsay from Stromness.
In the 1990s, a car was placed on top of the stack for a television commercial, requiring extensive planning and technical expertise.
