The mountains of Loch Maree from Inverewe Gardens, Poolewe, Loch Ewe on a fine Spring day, Wester Ross, Scotland..
Commentary.
This view is over the south-east corner of Loch Ewe.
A corner of the profuse sub-tropical gardens, created by Osgood Mackenzie in the 19th. Century, form the foreground.
Looking south over ten miles the distinctive peaks of Beinn Airigh Charr, 792 metres, pierce the clinging clouds in the remote, wild mountainous area known as Flowerdale Forest.
Such balmy conditions at 57 degrees North is a gratifying surprise and delight.
But for the warming effect of the ocean current, “the Gulf Stream” or “North Atlantic Drift,” these splendid coastal fringes of Wester Ross would experience the harsher sub-Arctic conditions of the North-West Highland mountains only a few miles inland.
