The Five Sisters of Kintail

Looking across Loch Duich at Ratagan to the Five Sisters of Kintail

The Five Sisters of Kintail is an unbroken ridge of mountains north-west of Glen Shiel and overlooking Loch Duich and the villages of Morvich and Ratagan. This view of the Five Sisters is one of the most iconic images of the Scottish Highlands, the mountains dominating the skyline when seen from the south shore of Loch Duich near the village of Ratagan. I am drawn repeatedly to this location; however, the key to obtaining a successful image is the state of the tide, which on this occasion was on the flood and almost at high tide.
