The tiny village of Corran on Loch Linnhe is a delight to walk through. Here on its beach is yet another sign of times past. Of fishing fleets and a lost age.

Looking west towards the coast. I spot a small cascade above the road and so I try the vies from there rather than from road level. Amy higher and I was in danger of getting into cloud.

As I walk along the northen bank of this famous canal just above Neptune's Staircase at Fort William I get a glimpse of the even more impressive Ben Nevis. At 1,345m its Britain's highest mountain. Only moments before taking this the view was completely obscured by low cloud. Enjoy.

I don't know how long this old fishing boat has been here on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Fort William but it will probably not ever move again. Already graffiti marks its hull. Its backdrop is the foothills of Ben Nevis, Britain highest mountain.

As this 100 year old brig descends the last of the canal locks, after 'Neptune's Staircase' it slowly edges into the siding for its over-night stay. Only the sea-gate to navigate before entering the sea Loch Linnhe thus having sailed from the East coast of Scotland at Inverness to the West coast via Loch Ness here to Fort William.

Castle Stalker, a Scottish dream.

Here we see Castle Stalker, standing on a small Island in Loch Laich off Loch Linnhe between Oban and Fort William inScotland. Built around 1320 this is one of Scotland's most scenic castles and indeed historical small castles being held by both the Stewarts and the Campbells.Certainly a great place to explore and one can even do a tour inside at times. Enjoy

Here we see Loch Linnhe from the small village of Onich just some miles below Fort William with an approaching storm. In the distance can be seen the white lighthouse at Corren.

Here we see Loch Linnhe from the small village of Onich just some miles below Fort William. The waters themselves as well as the moving leaves have been smoothed in time by the very long 30sec exposure. I have used the NiSi Big stopper to do this (10x ND). Enjoy!

Taking the beautiful 'Silver walk path' from Castle Tioram north and west along this loch reveals beautiful views like this. A pleasure to explore and photograph.

Sitting at the end of Loch Moidart and dating from 1290 this is now a deserted ruin. Reached by a causeway it is still impressive especially when viewed from this position. More info: www.moidart.org.uk/datasets/tioram.htm

After driving along the deserted landscapes around Loch Airlort we find ourselves in the tiny village of Glenuig with its bobbing yachts and boats in this sheltered anchorage.

Loch Airlort, situated between Fort William and Mallaig is a sea-loch and very attractive as well as quite lonely. A cloudy morning brings a little dappled sunlight to the landscape giving this a bit of life

As the day trippers return from the distant island of Eigg to return to the mainland town of Mallaig, the clouds deepen and herald coming bad weather perhaps. For me, its always the lighting that attracts me.

Taken on the coastal path just East of the North West Scottish town of Mallaig. We are looking North Eastwards across the Loch and the peaked mountain in the distance is Sgurr Coire Choinnichean at 796m. You can just see the village of Inverie across the loch here.

Looking towards the Isle of Skye here and really just around the corner from the true white/silver sandy area which really do shine when the sun is out, unlike now. Nevertheless, still a great place to wander and explore.

As the sea goes down we see here the abundance of sea weeds in their glorious shades of bronze. Nowadays (as in the long past) more and more chefs are collecting such weeds for delicate foods. Makes for a nice photo too, perhaps.
