Over the Lochan

A view over this lochan near Achmelvich to the mountains of Canisp to the left and Suilven on the right. A view that I would see again and again. Notice another lochan behind this one.

'There are over 31,000 freshwater Scottish lochs, including lochans, although only around 350 are of a notable size. A lochan is the word for a small loch, although there is no clear definition for the size at which a lochan becomes a loch.'

Herb Riddle replied to Colin Ashcroft:

I stand corrected Colin. I thought I might have it wrong. My research was up the garden path -should have asked Eileen my wife who knows better than me the names. I only take the photos :)

Glad you liked it. Herb

ps for those that did not see my original description - I had called Canisp 'Stac Pollaidh'

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

Thanks Keith. A lot of this sort of sky about up here as you will see tomorrow too. These two mountains always looked gorgeous and were omni-present to us. Their clarity always depended on the weather and times though. These darkish green and rock hues were typical of this Assynt countryside.

Cheers, Herb
