Image Details
Taken on a typically cold overcast winters day, but enlivened by some fleeting light, this view has everything I would wish for in wilderness landscape. It may be noticed that many of my landscapes feature water, for me there is just an added extra when ever water comes into view.
I had left the car at the Tollie lay-by and walked north until I reached the top of Croft Hill, which rises up over the River Ewe. It was my first visit to this place, and I was surprised at the magnificent view; it had not been expected. From this view point I was looking south-east down the entire length of Scotland's Loch Maree and beyond to Glen Docherty. On the left rises the massive hulk of Beinn Airigh Charr, and in the middle of Loch Maree, Isle Maree stands alone.
To the left of Isle Maree, and just before it is Witches Point, also visible to the left is the beginning of River Ewe where it flows out of Loch Maree. This one view made the cold days effort in the hills worthwhile, but with the bonus of other images captured on the same day.
