Rainy Slioch Loch Maree and a lone Scots pine
My first few days in the far reaches of North West Scotland, around the beautiful Loch Maree area, were definitely themed by the weather.. mainly rain and this photo of a lone scots pine was taken during a rainy spell as the rain showers made their way over the famous Slioch Loch Maree mountain peak in the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve.
Almost 14 miles long, Loch Maree is the 4th largest freshwater loch in Scotland… and has a reputation of one of its most beautiful. It’s set in a wild, remote landscape between the forest of the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve and Slioch Mountain and is famed for amazing scenery and diverse plant and wildlife. It’s an amazing photography location and during my visit I never saw another soul… although the weather may have influenced that a little.
