Late winter in Glen Shiel, a wonderful sight. Faochag, left, 909 metres, The Saddle, right, 1,011 metres, dominate this view, Wester Ross, Scotland.
Poem. Childish excitement travelling from east to west in late winter. You know soon, very soon, the West Coast “Munros” will gleam like incisor teeth above the forested landscape. Forcan, left, and The Saddle, right, are such peaks that advertise the thousand metre micro-climate of semi-Alpine splendour. Spin-drift sweeps off the upper slopes to accumulate in layers like royal icing. The snowy back-cloth forms a pleasing contrast to the pastel tans and greens of the bracken and forest of the lower slopes of this historic Glen. The West Coast beckons. Such a grand mountain corridor befits the momentous land and seascapes that lie in prospect.

Glorious Glen Carron in winter, below the peak Fuar Tholl, Wester Ross, Scotland.
Poem. Sweeping, turning, mountainous glen. Majestic. Mesmerising snow-laden peaks, catch the eye, demand attention. River Carron tumbles over cataracts and water-falls on its equally diverse course, below the road. Lower slopes swathed in commercial Spruce Pine forest. Grandeur and scale, a glen of magnitude, befitting of its role as a link between east and west.
