The lonely road to Tarbet
That is Tarbet on Loch Nevis. We are actually almost half way down Loch Morar heading east towards the remote hamlet of Swordland * (we never got that far), this was our turnaround point. The path eventually heads north to Tarbet just past Swordland. Had we walked as far as Tarbet, our only means back to Mallaig was via the Loch Nevis, Western Isles Ferry that we had earlier taken a trip to Inverie on. PiP
* During World War II, Swordland Lodge was requisitioned for training, and used by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) as a Special Training School, designated STS23b, where personnel—including Norwegian soldiers—trained for operations along the Norwegian coast
Enjoy the day.

It looks like hard walking there Herb and a bit desolate, which is probably why the area was used for Special Operations training in WW2.
Splendid work sir!
