Winter range

In the distance cattle graze the clifftops, others are strung across boggy moorland equally far behind me. Over this area the herd will find roughage and shelter from winter storms, whichever way the wind blows.

Towards the horizon Inch Kenneth shines emerald green as sunshine glances over the loch. It is rumoured Scottish kings were buried here when stormy seas prevented passage onwards to Iona, just visible in the far distance, described as the birthplace of Christianity in Scotland and established as a holy isle when St Columba arrived and founded a monastery in 563AD.
