I had been asked to photograph the interior and exterior of The Manse, a Georgian building in the village of Poolewe now owned by Inveran Estate and let to holidaymakers.The holidaymakers can also obtain rights from the estate for salmon and sea trout fishing. This estate is in Wester Ross on the North-west Scottish Highlands.
The interior I did on a rather dull day and left the exterior for a day more suited to the kind of photograph needed to be attractive to potential holidaymakers. When that day arrived I took some shots of the landscapes surrounding The Manse, including the River Ewe upon which banks The Manse is located.
It was a beautiful spring day with white fluffy clouds in a deep blue sky, ideal for this kind of photography, added to which the gorse bushes were at the peak of their bloom. This view of the river, looking south-east to its eventual source at Loch Maree was taken from a part of the river known to anglers as the 'T' Pool, beyond which are the the 'Lower Narrows', and finally in this view the 'Middle Narrows'
The river's source at Loch Maree is just over another kilometre beyond the furthest point we can see in this view. To the left of the river the huge bulk of Beinn Airigh Charr rises to 791 metres, and to the right the two small tree-clad hills are called Torr a' Mhuillir and Aird na Ban-fhaidhe.
