highland daytrip..Pt 4 of 4...

time was getting on as we headed up to a view point above spean bridge...

looking north...

and the view south of the mamores with the north face of ben nevis just showing...

the view is from the commando memorial...



across the road is a flooded cold war ROC observation post!...

driving the scenic road up glen spean to loch laggan more snow was on the hilltops as we headed inland from the sea...

loch laggan is a hydro electric created loch...at the dam the water was calm...


i (ahem) jumped the fence for some pics and filming...



heading along the side of loch laggan there is a stately home you may have seen before if youve watched the tv series "monarch of the glen" which is filmed here...



at the east end of the loch is a sandy beach..i imagine unridden by a pugsley!...

sun was going down but still a lovely place to stop at before the drive south down the A9...

strathmashie falls...





alot of lichen on the rocks...



passing another cold war ROC observation post we drove south as the sun was setting for dalwhinnie and the A9 home...

with 120 miles still to go we had driven 375 miles...for myself revisited some lovely scenery and for hanneke she saw some of what scotland has to offer...and this is just a little bit of our country...will post the film soon...

  1. Strange to think that just two weeks ago Loch Laggan was completely frozen over as I drove down the side of it.

    What a fantastic part of the country.....

    thanks for posting....Al.
