Afternoon Light on Slioch

The north-west face of Slioch and Loch Maree in Afternoon Light

Slioch is one of the classic mountains of the Scottish Highlands; rising in splendid isolation from the eastern shores of Loch Maree its complex summit offers oustanding views in all directions and is a magnet for any self-respecting mountaineer or hill-walker. The mountain presents its finest aspect to the north-west and its shapely and distinctive outline (Slioch is translated as 'The Spear') is dominant along almost the entire shoreline of Loch Maree from Talladale to Kinlochewe.
