Picture Pairs

Many thanks to Marc Gerard for allowing the Diary to publish some more of his superb pictures from his holiday in September last year.  The pictures are in pairs. The first two are of an enjoyable walk up Ben Hiant. This one has Kilchoan peeping out from between Ben Hiant and Beinn na h-Urchrach....

....while the second is a more northerly view from the hilltop taking in Eigg, distant Skye, Loch Mudle, Lochan a’ Mhadaidh Riabhaich, and the hills of Moidart and Morar.

The next two images come from a walk up Meall nan Con. This one was taken from the adjacent Meall Meadhoin across the caldera in the direction of Sanna

....while the second was taken from behind the beach at Fascadale looking towards Eigg, with the hills of Rum behind and those of Skye further away still.

Lastly, two photographs sum up the fortnight’s holiday in the Highlands. The first week on Skye brought enough clear skies to give grandstand views of the Cuillin....

....and the second week on Ardnamurchan delivered fine days in a slightly gentler, less awesome (in the true sense), more tranquil surroundings.

Many thanks, Marc!
