Suilven, a mountain of character

Suilven, a mountain of character
As we leave The Falls of Kirkaig, I look back further up the valley and see this spectacular scene through my long lens. In reality it was only a mile or so further up the path to get to see its foot and a nice lake too but we didn’t! as it was only supposed to be a short morning walk and we had brought nothing to eat nor drink for an extended walk. Pity! ...Townies!!

Suilven: is a mountain in Scotland. Lying in a remote area in the west of Sutherland, it rises from a wilderness landscape of moorland, bogs, and lochans known as the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve. Suilven forms a steep-sided ridge some 2 kilometres in length. Wikipedia

It is in the list of Marilyns and ranked No.561 by height at 731m in the Database of British and Irish Hills.

Hi Toz, glad you liked this one. Yes it looked like a stiff climb to me on here too. Our friend Colin below has in fact been up close and personal to this: www.ipernity.com/doc/vitalsparks/44607940.

Keep safe. Herb

Hi Colin. A great rock here and my thanks to you for the link - now given to Toz too. Yes, when you first see it, it feels more like Iceland perhaps.

Keep safe. Herb

Amazing light.........dramatic clouds and a sleeping dragon of a mountain......even the name sounds like something from the Lord of the Rings!

A spectacular shot Herb!

Thanks Keith. Funny how you should mention LOTR as I have already borrowed some of their naming for one of my unpublished Anglesey photos. Great that you enjoyed this one.
