Over processed Scotsman
I've deliberately over processed this image of 66746 on the 1H86 16:43 Fort William to Bridge of Orchy, possibly one of the shortest legs on the tour of Scotland.
The livery, whilst regal is not the best to photograph so concluded the extra oomph of the clouds, hills and heather make a better image, the train being large, but incidental.
I understand there is a general right to roam law / rule in Scotland. Anyway I parked up roadside in a gated entrance and nipped across some cleared forestry to take the shot. Frustratingly the train departed a few minutes late, more so a local 'farmer' passed and asked what I was doing. He didn't challenge my presence on the heather covered knoll, but did tell me he was expecting heavy machinery to arrive in ten minutes and needed to stop at the gates. With the train overdue I waited, but two minutes later he insisted the car was moved as the machinery's arrival was imminent. Car shifted and back in place the shot was slightly rushed. We were probably there for 20 minutes after the imminent arrival, but nothing did. We passed the next day and again no sign of any plant. Right to roam, but I'll shift your car.
The best idea of a location for this I can give is Achnabobane, between Torlundy and Spean Bridge.
