Late winter in Glen Shiel, a wonderful sight. Faochag, left, 909 metres, The Saddle, right, 1,011 metres, dominate this view, Wester Ross, Scotland.
Late winter in Glen Shiel, a wonderful sight. Faochag, left, 909 metres, The Saddle, right, 1,011 metres, dominate this view, Wester Ross, Scotland.

Poem.

Childish excitement travelling from east to west in late winter.
You know soon, very soon, the West Coast “Munros” will gleam like incisor teeth above the forested landscape.
Faochag, left, and The Saddle, right, are such peaks that advertise the thousand metre micro-climate of semi-Alpine splendour.
Spin-drift sweeps off the upper slopes to accumulate in layers like royal icing.
The snowy back-cloth forms a pleasing contrast to the pastel tans and greens of the bracken and forest of the lower slopes of this historic Glen.
The West Coast beckons.
Such a grand mountain corridor befits the momentous land and seascapes that lie in prospect.
