Looking down from the summit of Ben Venue on the islands of beautiful Loch Katrine.
Commentary.
Multiple bays, wooded islands, small peninsulas,
coniferous forests, cruising Paddle-Steamers and a
winding, confined, elegant, graceful sweep of water,
called Loch Katrine, dominate this scene.
The mountains of Crianlarich, to the north,
near 4,000 feet, but here, in the Southern Highlands,
the colours range from grey to Blueberry blue,
and pink to brown to bottle-green.
As clouds blot out the sun’s rays
form and hue and tone and texture
seem to transform constantly,
in a living montage of exuberant colours.
This is a much loved and exquisite area
for outstanding scenery, in the round.
