A mirror-like loch, a burnished golden glen, distant Munros, a fresh-water island, Scots Pine, Birch, Gorse and Wild Scarlet Rosehips. Quintessentially, this is Scotland, nearing perfection. Strathfarrar, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

            Poem.                               

Quintessentially Scotland, wrapped in a burnt amber autumnal cloak.
Lochan islet overarched by the noble, native Scots Pine.
Rosehips, gorse and sapling silver birch frame a breathless stillness and combine to form the archetypal landscape of Caledonia.
A perfect moment of utter calm where time ceases and beauty overwhelms.
How rare.
How special.
How therapeutic
to mind, body and soul.
