The rugged grandeur of Glencoe, Argyll, Scotland.

Poem.

 

Last snows of spring.

The misty peak of

Stob Coire nan Lochan,

pre-cursor to Bidean nam Bian, 1,150 metres,

hidden from view.

Rugged, raw, rocky valleys,

Raging, tumbling, plunging burns

dive down to the superlative Glencoe, below.

This place gloriously throws the senses into disarray.

This 420 million-year-old remnant of

a supervolcano subsidence caldera,

grabs the heart, mind and soul.

It is magnificent beyond my feeble words.
