Smoke from wild fires filling the sky above Upper Loch Torridon The full Torridon fire series can be found here .

Fire rapidly moving towards Annat. You can just see a fire engine approaching along the road through the smoke. The full Torridon fire series can be found here .

A helicopter was brought in and used initially to survey the fire. Then a bucket was attached and it spent the rest of the day fighting the fire - starting with the front shown in the photo Torridon fire 5 The full Torridon fire series can be found here .

The fire didn't have a lot of strength, so was really just burning very dry material - note that only the bottom of these trees were caught. The full Torridon fire series can be found here .

Again, notice that there are areas the fire just didn't touch. The full Torridon fire series can be found here .

View from Fearnmore across Loch Torridon

This is photo 1 from a series of photos taken on a walk done from Inveralligin to Diabaig and back (by a different route). Looking south towards the Alligin area and Loch Torridon beyond. We came up the path on the left rather than the road - shorter but steeper!

Having passed through the Bealach na Gaoithe its all down hill to Diabaig. This is the view you get of Loch Diabaigas Airde.

Brief lunch stop sitting on the pier at Lower Diabaig and looking towards Meall Ceann na Creige which we were about to go up. If you have ever been unfortunate enough to see the film "Loch Ness" (the one with Ted Danson) - this wee village features in it as the place he stays on the shore of Loch Ness!!! Check the map location to see just how far away it is! This is also a sea loch (unlike Loch Ness) so i wonder how much attention they paid to the tide! The last building on the right featured as the hotel (outside only).

Looking back towards Lower Diabaig from Meall Ceann na Creige.

Almost finished (the walk that is!)... This is an old croft in Alligin Shuas.

This is the first in a series of photos covering a wild fire in the Torridon area. The full Torridon fire series can be found here .

Notice how little there is to burn - mostly heather and grass. The full Torridon fire series can be found here .

Fish farm on Upper Loch Torridon, from Shieldaig Peninsula. Taken on my old Pentax P30T - ahh the days of film!
