One of the features the Clansman passes on Mull's north shore is Glengorm Castle, seen here against the backdrop of the snow-covered hills whose summit is Carn Mor. Built in 1860, Glengorm offers self-catering holidays, B&B, and an organic farm shop. When its builder, James Forsyth, cleared land for the 5,000 acre estate, he burned his tenants' cottages. One of them put a curse on him, that he would never live to sleep in the completed castle: he didn't, dying in a riding accident shortly afterwards. More details here.
Above Glengorm Castle stands Meall an Inbhire, topped by three communications masts, framed here by a rowan tree bent by the southwesterly gales.
