Loch Linnhe, Gateway To The Great Glen
Loch Linnhe is the gateway to the great glen. It is where the gaels, called the Scoti by the Romans, created the kingdom of Dál Riata in the western highlands of Scotland, to which I feel very connected. The kingdom reached its height under the rule of my 44th grandfather Áedán mac Gabráin (r. 574–608).
This shot was taken from the remote coastal road on Morvern leading to Kingairloch as the weather started closing in over the Nevis range.
