Perthshire in Autumn

[del320]

Just back from short break in Pitlochry. Although I know the area like the back of my hand, it's been years since we covered the area in such detail.

One Scottish loch in autumn may look like any other, but we thought it all jolly nice!

Sorry I can't compete with *** (banned) for quality.

Loch Tummel

Also Loch Tummel (south road)

Loch Faskally

Loch Tummel from Queen's View. Nice view of Beauly - Denny power line in distance.

Loch Rannoch and Schiehallion (1083m)

Wade's bridge, Aberfeldy

Loch Tay from Kenmore. Ben More (1174m) and Ben Lawers ((1214m) - been up both.

Almost as good in verse:

Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go
By heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles.
If it's thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step
You've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles.
Oh the far Coolins are puttin' love on me
As step I wi' my cromack to the Isles.

Fabulous country, I particularly like it in the Autumn, spent a bit of time at school in those parts.

That brings back some memories.

Was at school at Loch Rannoch many years ago. Went up Schiehallion a few times too. Shame about the power lines at the far end of the Queens view.

That would be Sìdh Chailleann that you're referring to...

Really? Who told you that? Looking good to me.

Good looking shots Del

I assume you must have the winter tyres on, otherwise you'd never have made it in the adverse conditions depicted at Loch Tay?

Got a proper car in the photo too!

One learns something every day, although I doubt i could pronounce it properly





Do you remember that store Mckerkers and McNaughton or whatever it was called in KR?

Lovely photos, lovely roads, proper air! It brings back memories of my mega summer drive and makes me a little bit envious! Well done glad you had a great time

 

[Mike Walker]

Great pictures and such a beautiful area too. Always look forward to going there.
