Fog filling the Vale of Pickering, with the hills of the Yorkshire Wolds barely visible on the horizon.

The view is over the villages of East and West Ayton (hidden by the trees). The fog fills the Vale of Pickering and the barely visible hills of the Yorkshire Wolds beyond.

The River Garry (Scottish Gaelic: Garadh / Abhainn Gharadh) is a long river punctuated by a series of long Lochs, in Lochaber. Many of the Lochs are part of a 1960s hydroelectricity scheme. The river begins in The Rough Bounds*, and proceeds into Loch Quoich, from where it heads east until it joins the River Kingie at the Kingie Pool. From there it flows into Loch Poulary, and thence to Loch Garry. The final section is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, and runs into Loch Oich (part of the Great Glen) just east of the village of Invergarry, through which it runs. *The Rough Bounds (Scottish Gaelic: Na Garbh Chriochan), in the Scottish Highlands, is the area of West Inverness-shire bounded by Loch Hourn, Loch Shiel, and Loch Moidart, consisting of the districts of Knoydart, North Morar, Arisaig and Moidart. The area is famous for its wildness and inaccessibility and remains very sparsely populated.

A Designated Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Loch Fada is a small inland loch at the southern end of the Trotternish ridge. Loch Fada is connected at its northern extremity to the larger Loch Leathan through a gently winding stream. The Storr Lochs are made up of Loch Fada, with the larger Loch Leathan to the north. On the northern part of Loch Leathan, the dam for the Storr Lochs hydro-electric project was built creating the reservoir for the hydro project. The North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board received permission to construct a dam and power station at Storr Lochs on the Isle of Skye in 1949. The project combined the waters of Loch Fada and Loch Leathan in the Storr Lochs reservoir, with the generating house below on Bearreraig Bay. Construction began in early 1950, and was commissioned in May 1952.
