Looking across a bay in Loch Linnhe to the mouth of Loch Leven and the Ballachulish Bridge from Onich. The mountains in Appin are known as the Beinn a Bheithir Horseshoe.
Commentary.
Where Leven and Glencoe merge, then narrow, and finally broaden into Loch Linnhe is the site of this image looking southwards from Onich.
The Bheinn a Bheithir Horseshoe, a huge wooded corrie lying between three “Munros” and five other “tops” exceeding 750 metres makes this a popular ridge trek with spectacular views.
The background peaks, in shot, are Sgorr Dhearg, 1,024 metres (2nd. From left) and Sgorr Dhonuill, 1,001 metres (central).
With views to Ardgour, Morvern and Mull, westwards, and The Mamores, Loch Leven and Bidean nam Bian, above Glencoe, eastwards, this ridge is a prime site for scenic splendour.
Ballachulish Cantilever Bridge is visible on the left,
where Loch Leven narrows to a mere 200 metres.
Lochaber has so many superb mountainous vantage points
and impressive, challenging climbs that it has become known
as Scotland’s “Outdoor Capital.”
Little wonder that this area was chosen as the
training ground for British Commandos, as commemorated
by the statue at Spean Bridge, over-looking the Nevis Range.
