Looking east from Strathaird, Isle of Skye, over Lochs Slapin and Eishort and the Sleat Peninsula to the Mainland peaks of Ladhar Bheinn, left, and Sgurr na Ciche, left of centre. Simply, a breathtaking vista.
Commentary.
Beyond the Sleat Peninsula of the Isle of Skye
rise the majestic mountains of remote Knoydart
on the West Coast of Scotland.
Standing between the grand fjords of Hourn and Nevis
peaks rise dramatically out of the sea from 3,000 to 3,500 feet.
Ladhar Bheinn and Sgurr na Ciche are legendary.
Views from their summits include a huge range of landscape environments.
Distant peaks, north, north-east, south-east and east.
Deep, winding fjords or sea-lochs.
Corries and glens.
Burns and waterfalls.
Woodland and moorland.
Headlands and bays.
Beaches and harbours.
Village and pasture.
A myriad of dream-like islands and ocean, ocean, ocean.
A fascinating, convoluted, intricate coastline over 3,000 miles in length.
One of the most scenic, colourful and awe-inspiring coastlines on Earth.
