Travelling south on a crisp November morning along the Inverasdale peninsula on the western shores of Loch Ewe, this landscape presents itself about a kilometre south of the village of Naast. My wife and I had been at a friends house not far from Firemore, and on our drive home I stopped to capture this superb vista of Loch Ewe and the mountains.
In the foreground are the Boor Rocks upon which many cormorants were sunning themselves. Starting at the far left is the tree-covered peninsula on which the National Trust's Inverewe Gardens are situated, then the following mountains are all visible; Beinn a' Chaisgein Mor, Carn Mor, Ruadh Stac, A' Mhaighdean, and finally Beinn Airigh Charr, below which the village of Poolewe can just be seen.
This range of mountains is just part of a huge wilderness area known as 'The Great Wilderness', Britain's last great wilderness, and it is a magnet for walkers and climbers of all abilities, presenting challenging climbing and unsurpassed scenery.
