After leaving Glencoe, my drive became much more scenic, not to mention far more sedate. After stopping off at Fort William in the shadow of the Nevis range for supplies and fuel, I continued on, upward and westward. Seeing a sign for the Commando Monument, I pulled in to grab a couple of photographs.

Along the way, just beyond Invergarry, the frustrated landscape photographer in me felt moved to pull in and grab a few more photographs. At least I attempted to battle the high sun and harsh light to capture something worthwhile! I managed to stuff these five shots into a workable panoramic…
Eventually, I arrived at the beautiful, not to mention famous, Eilean Donnan Castle. I stopped to take the tour, but not until after I’d stuffed this 25 shot composite HDR image into my camera:
After I was finished at the castle, it was time to move on again - through Kyle of Lochalsh and over the bridge onto Skye. Although I wasn’t able to stop too long, I did get a chance to take in some of the sights, and also to meet friend (and superbly talented photographer), Lynne Kennedy.
