Cottage below Stob Dubh & Beinn Ceitlein, Glen Eitve, Argyll, Scotland

Cottage below Stob Dubh & Beinn Ceitlein, Glen Eitve, Argyll, Scotland
Best enlarged

Aaccording to local sources, in the early 20th century two boys, the McGregors, who probably lived in this cottage across the River Etive from the local school had to cross the river in a 'bucket' suspended on a rope in order to attend the school. Along with their books and their lunch they were also expected to bring a couple of blocks of peat each for the fire! At the time these two boys were the only pupils

The school referred to above:

A great photo.
I remember that once I was at a height in the Highlands at one point where I could turn 360 ° without seeing a house or a person...

thanks very much Udo, glad that you like it. Yes the Highlands are certainly one of the most sparsely populated areas of the UK.

Have a good evening, Doug

Excellent point of view and a terrific capture Doug,
Have a nice week.
