Eilean Gorm “The green isle” sits at the western end of Loch Ard close to the village of Kinlochard in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Scotland. Loch Ard is one Scotland’s smaller lochs and one of the most picturesque with its sheltered location allowing an ideal spot for kayaking and water sports and visits to the tree covered “Eilean Gorm” Isle in the picture” This photo was taken whilst I recently walked the 7.5mile circuit of the “Kinlochard and Crannog walk” which gives you plenty of advantage points along the route to stop and admire the calm waters of the loch and surrounding mountains.
Doo Lough Irish: Dúloch, meaning "Black Lake" is a freshwater lake in the west of Ireland. It is located in southwest County Mayo on the Murrisk peninsula.
Doo Lough measures about 4 km long and 1 km wide. It lies about 30 km southwest of Westport near the village of Delphi. The lake runs in a narrow northwest to southeast direction, and is overlooked by the long ridge of Ben Lugmore 2,635 ft, on its southwest shores, and by Barrclashcame 2,533 ft on its northeast shores. At its southeast head, lies the massif of Ben Gorm 2,297 ft.
A notable feature on its northwestern head it the deep corrie of Lug More or Irish Coum Dubh, from which the Glencullin River feeds into the neighboring Lough Glencullin the bottom of the corrie is also called the Glencullin valley. Surrounding the corrie is the long ridge of Ben Lugmore and its several subsidiary summits, Ben Lugmore East Top 2,592 ft, and Ben Lugmore West Top 2,592 ft; while cutting across the headwall (from bottom left to upper right), is grenn grassy feature known as The Ramp, which is used by climbers to gain the ridge of Ben Lugmore from the shores of Doo Lough.
Reaching the Southwest Top of Beinn Mheadhoin we have a great view down into a deep Glen with the deep blue waters of Loch Avon (pronounced Loch A'an). Beyond we can see the high Munro summit Cairn Gorm at 1245 meters (4082 feet), the mountain that gives the whole Cairngorm range its name.
Beinn Mheadhoin (pronounced Bane Vee-arrn) meaning 'The Middle Hill' stands at 1182 meters (3878 feet) and is my 14th Munro. The summit plateau is strewn with some spectacular granite rocky tors and lies at the remote heart of the Cairngorms. The cycle in up Glen Derry was 6.7 miles, with a further 3.7 hike to reach the summit. With the return, the days sees me covering 21 miles Bike & Hike.

This was one of many of my images of the dam, the light and the cloud base was constantly shifting, such a beautiful place and well worth a visit, hope you enjoy.
As you approach Pubil and Lubreoch, the glen is increasingly dominated by the massive Lubreoch Dam, whose construction in the 1950s created the five mile long Loch Lyon as part of a wider hydro-electric scheme. The head of Glen Lyon is an intriguing place, with the far end of the loch being only four miles from Bridge. These four Munro's Carn Gorm, Meall Garbh, Carn Mairg and Meall na Aighean are at the farthest end of Loch Lyon
This Ptarmigan as it views the latest snowfall in the Cairngorms is possibly thinking he was a touch premature in sporting summer plumage !

I had my first real hike of the year up and around the back of Meall Gorm. Fantastic day out - snow is all gone and the evenings are stretching out. Bliss.
In the Viking market this summer we have every year blot.
Blót is the term for "sacrifice" in Norse paganism. A blót could be dedicated to any of the Norse gods, the spirits of the land, and to ancestors. The sacrifice involved aspects of a sacramental meal or feast.

Another stop at a familiar place on the trip to Assynt, this time the view to Stac Pollaidh from the north shore of Loch Lurgainn.

With my dog Bert out of action due to injury I could not take him on my last walk into the hills. I really missed his company and walking without him did not seem quite right.
Unfortunately it appears he will be out of action for some time to come.
The picture here shows Slioch in the top left along with Lochan Fada just below and Gorm Loch in the foreground.
One of a reasonably large flock of Snow Buntings flitting around in the snow in the car park of the ski centre at Cairngorm Mountain last week. Despite the proximity of the confiding birds, the overcast sky made for poor photographic conditions. Happy New Year to all those that follow me, and thanks for your continued support, which is much appreciated.
