Morning reflections in Loch Achtriochtan, below the infamous Aonach Eagach Ridge, Glencoe, in late summer, Argyll, Scotland.
Poem.
Most heralded, stark and infamous of valleys.
The northern and southern slopes produce an outstanding symmetry in this shallow reed-laden lake.
What devilish, deadly deeds were committed where “X” marks the spot, treachery and massacre.
And yet, for all its credentials, to chill the blood with gruesome acts, even when the clouds and temperature fall, the sheer awesome magnificence of this place can not be overstated.
THIS IS GLENCOE!
