White mist and an artist's palette of colours splash across Strathglass, the River Beauly and Aigas Golf Course on an Autumn morning, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Commentary.

 

Strathglass in autumn near Aigas Gorge.

The golf-course gives an artificial, manicured

impression to a valley that is naturally beautiful.

It seems almost unlikely that a man-made feature like a golf course

could blend in, and even complement, such a valley

but, here, now, it does seem to.

This ever-widening river is the result of a confluence

of three others – Affric, Cannich and Farrar.

It is majestic as it curves and flows seawards

reaching the Beauly Firth as the River Beauly.

 

Even established locals, would put a

tour of this river, and its three source rivers,

high on their itinerary of day-trips

from the Highland capital.
