Glen Loyne in Winter

Knoydart is legendary amongst climbers and walkers for its inaccessibility and wild grandeur and the Glens of Garry and Loyne, along with their southerly neighbours Glen Kingie and Glen Dessary, not only host several of its most easterly Munros but also provide the best mainland access into this great wilderness.

This image is taken from the summit of the road from Invergarry to Kyle of Lochalsh and the Isle of Skye around midday on a bright but blustery day in mid-winter. The view is across Glen Loyne the beautiful and lonely Loch Loyne which on this occasion was completely frozen. The mountains beyond are those of the Glenquoich Forest and South Glen Shiel ridge, in particular, Spidean Mialach, Gleouraich and Craig a'Mhaim.
