The River Garry (Scottish Gaelic: Garadh / Abhainn Gharadh) is a long river punctuated by a series of long Lochs, in Lochaber. Many of the Lochs are part of a 1960s hydroelectricity scheme. The river begins in The Rough Bounds*, and proceeds into Loch Quoich, from where it heads east until it joins the River Kingie at the Kingie Pool. **From there it flows into Loch Poulary, and thence to Loch Garry. The final section is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long, and runs into Loch Oich (part of the Great Glen) just east of the village of Invergarry, through which it runs. *The Rough Bounds (Scottish Gaelic: Na Garbh Chriochan), in the Scottish Highlands, is the area of West Inverness-shire bounded by Loch Hourn, Loch Shiel, and Loch Moidart, consisting of the districts of Knoydart, North Morar, Arisaig and Moidart. The area is famous for its wildness and inaccessibility and remains very sparsely populated. **The photo was taken on the short length of river between Loch Poulary (upstream) and Loch Garry.

Loch Poulary is an expansion of the River Garry between Loch Quoich and Loch Garry. Loch Poulary was created as a result of damming the river as part of the Garry-Moriston Hydro-Electric Power Scheme.

Loch Polulary is an expansion of the River Garry between Loch Quoich and Loch Garry. Loch Poulary was created as a result of damming the river as part of the Garry-Moriston Hydro-Electric Power Scheme. Loch Poluary with Gairich beyond The mountain beyond the River Garry is Gairich, situated on the southern side of Loch Quoich between Glen Kingie and Glen Garry in the Lochaber district, 25 kilometres north-northwest of Fort William. With a height of 919 metres (3015 feet), Gairich qualifies as a Munro (Scottish mountain over 3000 feet) by just four metres. Despite its relatively low height the mountain is rough and quite isolated with a substantial prominence of 552 metres and is conspicuous in the view up Glen Garry. The mountain was initially named Scour Gairoch on the original 1891 list of Munros and is still occasionally called this, however it is now referred to generally as Gairich which translates from the Gaelic as “roaring" or Peak of "Yelling”and is believed to refer to the roaring of stags in the rutting season.

The area of water is know as the Kingie Pool. The River Kingie joins the Garry on the far side of this pool flowing then as the Garry towards Loch Poulary.

The body of water is Loch Poulary, a small loch which drains into Loch Garry via the River Garry. The mountains on the distant horizon are located on the remote Knoydart Peninsula.

Best enlarged Loch Quoich (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Chuaich) is a loch and reservoir situated west of Loch Garry approximately 40 km northwest of Fort William, Lochaber, Scotland. The name means "loch of the cup/quaich". Both lochs form part of the Glen Garry hydroelectricity project commissioned by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board in the 1950s. The scheme was completed in 1962. Knoydart Sandwiched between Lochs Nevis and Hourn, Knoydart is one of the most dramatic and unspoilt places in Scotland. Some of the finest scenery in Scotland can be found around Knoydart. Labelled as ‘Scotland’s last wilderness’, Knoydart is only accessible by boat from Mallaig or Glenelg, or by a 16 mile long walk (approximately two day’s hike) over the mountains where Bonnie Prince Charlie is supposed to have taken refuge after Culloden (battle of).

Spidean Mialach is a mountain located in on the northern side of Loch Quoich in the Lochaber district of the Highland Council Area of Scotland and with a height of 996 metres (3268 feet) is classified as a Munro** **A Munro is a mountain in Scotland with a height over 3,000 feet. Munros are named after Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet, who produced the first list of such hills, known as Munro's Tables, in 1891.

Despite its relatively low height the mountain is rough and quite isolated with a substantial prominence of 552 metres and is conspicuous in the view up Glen Garry.
