Flow Country

The Flow Country – the most intact and extensive blanket bog system in the world. Stretching across Caithness and Sutherland in the far north of Scotland this vast expanse of blanket bog comprises a complex set of interlinked pool systems www.theflowcountry.org.uk

This is taken from Moine House built as a halfway house for weary travellers, travelling from Loch Eriboll, one had to cross 14 miles of this morass, then make the choice of risking life on the ferry across the Kyle, or slogging another 9 miles overland via Kinloch to reach Tongue Village..

The cloud covered mountain is the 764m Ben Loyal,

Large may be good.

I love the sense of depth you have captured here, Roger. The curved patch of mud leads the eye very effectively to the ben in the background. All the best, Joe

A wonderful capture of this incredible landscape, of which I knew nothing. Many thanks for including the flow country link. It was a fascinating read (the carbon capture is astounding!) and this blanketing bog system is certainly worthy of World Heritage protection and interest.

A beautiful but apparently treacherous landscape...............and some fascinating history too. An interesting link too (I've had a quick look and bookmarked it for further reading when I get home).

Ben Loyal looks very impressive in the distance. Very well captured Roger.
