The Bay of Plenty. Gruinard Bay, Wester Ross, Scotland.
Commentary.
One of the broad shallow bays that make up the northern part of Wester Ross.
Five miles across and four miles deep.
It is viewed here from 120 metres above the river called Little Gruinard.
This panorama shows the whole of the eastern shore.
With the tide out the main beach extends to one and a half kilometres.
The bare, pristine, bluffed, rounded hills
of Lewisian Gneiss fall into the sea and are set against the higher mountains of Coigach, Scoraig and Dundonnell.
This is a superb coastline, rivalling any other stretch,
in the world, for its unspoiled beauty.
