Glencoe

Such a good walk yesterday and so rainy today that I’m posting an old photo looking back from Gearr Aonach toward Ballachulish bridge

Had a walk up the front of the middle sister (Gearr Aonach) via the scary looking but quite accessible ‘zig-zags’. A stunning day for a walk!

The classic view down Loch Leven from the A82. I was one of a line of people waiting to take photos.

A long view over to Stobh Coire nan Lochan

The Lochan at the old hospital in Glencoe has recently been cleared of rhododendron and the islands that used to look like hedgehogs now are sparse. Hopefully, this will give a chance for new, native plants to grow.

Just occasionally, once in a while, the sun breaks through the clouds

Hoary Cinquefoil near Glencoe Lochan

During a particularly misty day, a quick drive up the glen revealed rapidly changing conditions. Waiting around for a few minutes revealed Coire nan Lochan for a moment.

At the foot of the three sisters near Loch Achtriochtan, daisies grow near the verge; a beautiful foreground for the Loch and the Aonach Eagach ridge beyond.
