In splendid isolation
The main Assynt mountains are unique in that they stand in isolation from each other and are surrounded by a network of lochs, lochans, rivers and wild, largely pathless, ground.
Visible here (beyond the lochs) L to R are Suilven, Cul Mor, Cul Beag (summit in cloud) and Stac Pollaidh, which is seen from its other (southern) side in the previous upload. The lower slopes of Canisp can also be seen disappearing behind the right-hand edge of Suilven.
I was fortunate to arrive at this location during one of the few clear periods of the day. Even so a(n almost) clear view of the whole of Suilven was a rarity.
