South-east corner of Loch Monar in Autumn, with Sgùrr na Lapaich, top left.

            Poem.

A giant amongst giants
of the North-West Highlands.
Sgùrr na Lapaich can be seen for almost
the whole length of Strathfarrar.
Like a magnet, it attracts
us further and further,
closer and closer.
It looms over Loch Monar and its dams.
stands imperious,
a sentinel.
High, bare, proud, rocky,
an over-arching guardian
to the beauty draped around its feet.
Setting sun beams off of the rock-faces and
groves of Scots Pine clinging to the lower slopes.
Coarse grass glows like gilded treasure.
Days die here, as everywhere,
but with a majestic, dramatic,
endearing swan-song,
in this wild, wonderland.
