Scenic views I saw on my scottish holiday
(I should have taken notes)
While travelling up to scotland on the M6, I saw what I believe was part of the Yorkshire Dales,possibly Firbeck Fell, aRANT hAW,Great Dummocks and Fell head.
(I didn't know this,but across the other side is a place called cowperthwaite,a place perhaps connected to a family of same name, I digress), I may have seen views up the lune valley.
I saw what looked like part of the lake district(Sledale and Swindale area? and may well have seen the fells on the other side of the Eden.
I travelled up the west shore of Loch lomond all the way up to Rannock moor via crianlarich and tyndrum(come back same way).
Passed Loch na-h,saw monadh dubh,loch tulla,bridge of orchy,saw beinn an dobhaidh,beinn dorain,beinn odhar and meall buidhe.
ON Rannock moor,there were views from the road by Loch Ba with Eilean Molach in it possibly all the way to loch laidon,black corries and possibly beyond(I may have gleaned the Blackwater reservoir, I saw the ski lift up Meall a' bhuiridh,I saw the mountains of glen etive and glencoe(Sron na creuse,stob a' ghlais choire, beinn a' chrulaiste,hree sisters etc,even a gorge and waterfalls)
FromGlencoe via ballachulish to north ballachulish or vice versa, there are views from the bridge up loch leven almost as far as caolasnacon and the mountains of ardgour which I could see all the way on the road to fort william.
The road to fort william.
Onich has views of beinn a'bheithir.
saw the corran peninsula
Road to fort augustus
I went along the a82 which is fairly forested to spean bridge,going past the memorial,there were beautiful views of the forests and mountains on the western side of loch lochy,possibly including clunes forest and mountains such as meall odhar, leac chorrach,meall dubh and sean mheall(Views on other side of road largely obscured by trees) going across the south laggan swingbridge, I went up the west side of loch oich seeing leitir fhearna on the other side, saw a glean of loch ness at fort augustus, saw the rare breeds park,from which I saw a nice-looking hill believed to be creag an-larlain, I then went back to invergarry and went onto the a87 going along the forested loch garry ,there was a viewpoint(marked on map) where you could see loch garry,glen garry forest, and east glenquoich forest as well as the torr na carraidh bridge,urther up there were views of loch loyne and Bunloinn forest,then going along to loch cluanie from where Bunloinn,beinneun cluanie and clannacroc forests area can be seen, I went down glen shiel,seeing mountains on all sides,including the five sisters of kintail(I also saw a rock in which a stream entered one side and departed the other side) went over a bridge where was a ruined church.
The road went along the north side of loch duich,seeing ratagan forest on the other side with various hills etc (sgurr aoide etc.
I arrived at eilean donan from where I could look up loch duich, part of loch long and saw several islands,I believe I saw the island of skye.
Went back same route to spean bridge,then turned onto b8004 which was largely forested on one side,but grass/farm land on the other,turning south the road has views over the caledonian canal and lochy valley wih sron liath and meall bhanbhaidh on the road 's side.
Turning onto the A830 there are views of the ardgour hills as well as corpach hill .
The caravan site at corpach had views up loch eil and across to the ardgour hills.
The corpach-fort william route,you could see the nevis range.
I also went to the glen nevis visitors centre,went over the swinging bridge,went along the river bank,then went up mounain path opposite the mound which with cut stones was very difficult, I went up to where the path goes down to the glen,there were views of glen nevis including cow hill and possibly the mamores
