Loch on Rannoch Moor
« Thread Started on Feb 5, 2009, 11:41pm »
I took this on Rannoch Moor on our way back from our summer holidays on Skye (in November) about 12 years ago.

As we left Berwick on the Saturday it started to rain, by the time we got to Sterling it was a downpour and when we arrived at our cottage on Skye the rain was not coming down it was coming along as it was also blowing a gale. ;D ;D We heard on the radio on the Sunday morning that part of the road we travelled on had been washed away. ;D
It rained every day we were there except the Wednesday, (it snowed that day).
The only sunny day we had was the Saturday when we were on our way home. It may be hard to believe but we had a lovely holiday ;)

Alfie, we spent a week in Skye in 2006 and had reasonable weather all week apart from a thunder storm one day.

The journey up there and back was horrific and it rained the whole journey coming back.

Lovely photograph Alfie as always! ;)

I'm glad to hear you had a lovely holiday in spite of that awful weather, Alfie!

I just love that photo. Three distances all nicely combined and the mirroring in the lake is what catches the eye first. Brilliant shot!

A fantastic photo Alfie.

Berwick(2007) is the farthest north I've been since I went to Edinburgh when I was ten.

We would like to visit the Highlands but you really have to have the weather.

One thing I HATE about the Highlands >:( MIDGES (Teeth on wings)

I love the scenery and find the people friendly but those little beasties In the local dialect "ah canna bide they wee things" ;D ;D
