Tor Point and Loch Ness nearing a summer sunset from near to Lochend, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Commentary.

 

 

World famous slopes plunge into the cryptid-hunter’s mecca or the alcoholic’s hallucination centre.

True or not, the “monster” saga should never

diminish or over-ride the sobering beauty and spirit of this place.

 

Looking south from over 200 feet above Lairgmore we see the sharply reflected, pine-laden slopes of Tor Point towards the north-eastern end of Loch Ness.

Across the waters above the village of Dores

the mast marks a point over 1,500 feet above the looming depths.

 

An iconic view of an iconic lake.

How could a thousand foot deep chasm, twenty-three miles long and up to a mile and a half wide, with an endless food supply, never frozen water, blocked from the sea 10,000 years ago, harbour a colony of unidentified creatures?

Impossible!

Ridiculous!
