The clan chiefs' graves.

Scenes from today's bike ride with Mrs T. I just love the contrasting blue and red on the old house / deer larder.
The memorial cairn is to a young local musician who died a couple of years ago, in his mid twenties and very shortly after his first child was born.
This area is the location of a pretty substantial reforestation project.
The remains of Tigh nan Saighdearan, or the "Soldiers' House", the tiny Jacobite-era barracks in a seriously remote but strategically important location west of Loch Arkaig, controlling a significant route across the western Highlands.

The view across the Sound of Sleat in the Western Scottish Highlands, towards the Isle of Skye. Captured this view from the ferry from Armadale as it approached Mallaig, passing the small light marker on the rocky islet of Sgeir Dhearg.

The less than obvious remains of the Old Fort, or Fort William, after which the town visible in the background is named. The fort was built in 1690 on the site of a wooden Cromwellian citadel. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/fortwilliam/oldfort/index.html
Wishing you all a happy winter solstice, may the light return.

The Corran ferry, which crosses Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and gives access to Morvern, Moidart and Ardnamurchan, waiting for customers at Nether Lochaber on the sort of wintry night that makes you long for summer.

Inverlochy Castle near Fort William. Built from around 1280 it was overtaken by history not once, but twice: first by a Cromwellian citadel built in 1654 and then by a Scots baronial style Inverlochy Castle built not far away in 1863.
