Beinn an Lochain & Loch Restil

I wouldn't normally be keen to have a major road in any of my photos, but in this one, the A83 runs alongside Loch Restil, giving some badly needed scale to this stretch of water. The east wall of Beinn an Lochain is so vast that it has the effect of reducing the loch to a mere puddle. In fact, it is over 1km in length (bottom to top, in the photo) & 200m wide. You'll have to '+' it to get a better idea.

 

Loch Restil has a brief but memorable moment in the film, 'Under the Skin'. I'll not describe why, in case you've not seen it, suffice to say that the sequence is weather related & compliments the weird creepiness that pervades this work of genius from start to finish.

(I should say that this film won't be everybody's cup of tea; it's about as far removed from 'conventional' as you'll get in cinema.)
