The west end of Loch Beinn a
Mheadhoin (which
is often Anglicized to "Loch Benevean"). This area is home to one of
the
largest remnants of original natural forest in Scotland. |
 |
The view to the west, and Sgurr na
Lapaich
is prominent. Sgurr na Lapaich ("Peak of the Bog") is a "top" of Mam
Sodhail,
though many feel it should count as a Munro in its own right. |
 |
Open stands of Scots pines glow in
the evening
sunlight. |
 |
We headed down towards the water's
edge to
get in among the trees... |
 |
...and reward ourselves with this
view of
the outfall from Loch Pollan Buidhe. |
|
The Highlands were in a hauntingly
beautiful
mood that evening. Sgurr na Lapaich, with patches of snow still
visible,
silhouetted against the evening sun (it was around 9pm). |
|
A telephoto through an avenue of
pines, into
Loch Pollan Buidhe from the car park. |
|
Sgurr na Lapaich again, seen from
the short
path up to the viewpoint |
|
It's said by some to be the finest
glen in
Scotland, and who would argue after seeing it under conditions like
this?
Loch Affric, with its surrounding mountain ranges. |
|
And in the other direction, Loch
Beinn a
Mheadhoin looks almost as inviting. |
|
A perfectly placed bench seat from
which
to contemplate this vista of forest, lake and mountain |
|
The car park from the viewpoint.
The lone
car down there is ours. It was time to return to it and head back for a
meal at the Cannich hotel before they stopped serving. |
