This evening cruise to Loch Ness passes first through the Caledonian Canal before it opens out into the Loch.
This may only be a shaky handheld job on my little pocket camera (fujifilm finepix a500) but is the pic I’m proudest of ...ever…. and it still makes my heart lurch every time I see it! It had been six and a half hour walk in and up from sea level to that point and comprised more rock scrambling than I had ever envisaged and a heartstoppingly precarious walk along the ridge. I had carried a small tripod every step of the way but the others waiting wanted to press on with even harder descent and 4 hour return trip so I had no chance to set up…..... / :)) The view looks back over Loch Hourn into the highlands from the top of Ladhar Bheinn, or ‘hoof hill’ ‘one of the finest mountains in Scotland with narrow rocky ridges and spectacular corries’ (Scottish Mountaineering Club Guide). It is 1020m but we had scrambled up and down on the jagged ridge repeatedly so had climbed considerably more. The last snows of the winter look reassuringly solid in this pic but in fact stood proud of the mountain leaving the sheer drop visible beneath. We had sailed into knoydart the most remote penisula on the scottish mainland from Mallaig into the hamlet of Inververie which is inaccessible by road, only by sea or a demanding walk of many miles. It is graced with the fantastic Old Forge pub with superb meals and imprompu nightly ceilidhs which walkers and sailors really enjoy! Deer roamed the gardens and early next morning I got the precious shot of morning gems I am also posting path just trodden / taken from the same spot . Thankfully the weather was kind- ok visibility and moderate winds … wouldn’t like to tackle it any other way!! For human scale see hey wait for me Click below for all my pics from this stunning area: knoydart

This little church has a service on the first Sunday of each month. What a fab location for some Sunday worship.
I make no apology for posting another one of Loch Fyne and Castle Lachlan. It’s a very special place when the light is just right. Cowal Peninsula, Argyll.
Sometimes it’s worth getting up early
Loch Ard, The Trossachs, Scotland.
With the tide the day now recedes / Stealing the light less the moon be jealous / Leaving behind like jewelled beads / A gem splashed beach, to the eye so precious Great Cullins proud no longer stand / Painted by the sun so bright / But darkened now like Elgol’s land / The sea alone now owns this right But come the dawn, this scene re-born / Again the Cullins grand will rise / Like the sky by light soon torn / They guard my treasure til the day’s demise
Loch More, Caithness, Scotland Featured at Dimensions
Loch Eriboll (Scottish Gaelic: “Loch Euraboil”) is a 16 km (10 mile) long sea loch on the north coast of Scotland, which has been used for centuries as a deep water anchorage as it is safe from the often stormy seas of Cape Wrath and the Pentland Firth. It is named after the village of Eriboll on its eastern shore. Bronze age remains can be found in the area, including a souterrain and a very well-preserved wheelhouse on the hillside above the west shore. A small scale lime industry developed here in the 19th century and, until World War II, the Royal Navy were frequent visitors. Portnancon, on the western shore of Loch Eriboll, was where the company of the HMS Hood spent their last shore leave prior to the Battle of the Denmark Strait, and there are stones arranged by sailors into the names of their warships (including Hood and Amethyst) on the hillside above the hamlet of Laid. It was nicknamed “Lock ’orrible” by the British servicemen stationed here during the war because of the often inclement weather. The largest island in the loch, Eilean Choraidh, was used for aerial bombing practice by the Royal Air Force, since it is about the same size and shape as a battleship. The surviving German U-boats formally surrendered here in 1945. Around the shores of the loch are the small villages of Eriboll, Heilam, Polla, Portnancon and Rispond Today it is a largely unspoilt wilderness, in a region of high rainfall and the lowest population density in the UK.

The very last kiss of light on the shoulders of the mountain, on a chilly Winter’s afternoon. / Very cold, and very still, the way I like it. / The sun sets very early at this time of year in the North West Highlands, late November. Seven hours of daylight at the very Max, on a good day, but when the weather is bad…......too dark ! / I love it when it is frosty, or snow, since this gives us much needed light. / Payback comes in Summer when we get just three hours of darkness. / On a good day !

I though I would try something a little bit different for me. I generally stick to colour, but I thought I would try converting my most poular image into mono.

General Wade’s Bridge at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. Designed by William Adam, Scotland’s best architect. The total cost was £3,596 or, in today’s terms, over £1m. ”... a freestone bridge over the Tay, of five arches, nearly 400ft. in length, the middle arch 60 feet wide, the starlings of oak and the piers and landbreasts founded on piles shod with iron….” (House of Commons Journal, 7th February 1734). The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway. Built for 18th century wheeled carriages, it survives to the 21st century as a great memorial to a great roadbuilding engineer. Wade’s Bridge is a Category A listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 20861) under the care of Historic Scotland. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.
