The Far Lands
The land of Assynt (the land of discord) in the far North West Highlands of Scotland photographed at sunset from Castle Greyskull at the top of Suilven (The Pillar).
After a 4 hour slog from Glencanisp over rough tracks and peat bogs carrying a 55lb/25kg pack of camping and photography gear, you are faced with one of the steepest mountain climbs in Scotland, the Bealach Mor (great gully) of Suilven. Initially it looks unclimbable, but a faint badly eroded track zig-zags up into the mountain and, with the sound of Deer Stags bellowing during the rutting season echoing off the rock walls, you eventually reach the ridge at the top and are met with this fantastic sight. Wild mountain camps don't get much better than this.
