Llyn Goddionduon added to Snowdonia

Llyn Goddionduon is a remote lake in the Gwydir Forest in North Wales. It lies at a height of 794 ft 242 m and covers an area of 10 acres 40,000 m2. It is totally surrounded by coniferous forest, although a track leads up to it, enabling a water supply in the event of fire, and anglers also use this path.It is unusual in that it is totally natural, whereas nearly all of the other lakes in the forest have been partially or totally constructed as water sources for the mines which were scattered throughout the Forest.Some sources state that the correct name of the lake should be Llyn y Goeden Lake of the Tree, but that an error on the maps resulted in the name Goddinduon duon means "black" in Welsh, but Goddion is not a known word

Loch Ard Autumn added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Another view of Boathouse Bay looking from the south shore towards the group of boathouses. The water was so still but did not remain so for long.

Mealasta added to Outer Hebrides

Mealasta on the west coast of Harris has three beautiful beaches, the first of whichapproaching from Breanais, in this image, is almost always calm and good for swimming. However the second beach, which is below Taigh nan Cailleachan Dubha, is vulnerable to change and to the severity of the weather, and is often covered with beach stones. The third beach is surely one of the most secluded on the island it is tucked in to the coast near the Mealasta roadend but is not visible from the road.

Falls of Dochart added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

The Falls of Dochart are situated on the River Dochart at Killin at the western end of Loch Tay over which rises Perthshires highest mountain, Ben Lawers 1214m.

Loch Drunkie added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Loch Drunkie is a beautiful area of water in the forest between Aberfoyle and Loch Achray. Forest Enterprise have made it an easy place to visit by putting in and maintaining a Three Loch Forest Drive from the top of Dukes Pass to Loch Achray. There may be a small fee to pay and the drive is only open in the summer.

Loch Ard added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Loch Ard with Ben Lomond in the background is fresh water and acts as the source of the River Forth. It is situated east of Aberfoyle and is in three parts with the most westerly and biggest being headed by the village of Kinlochard. The Loch lies in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park.

Lochan Reoidhte added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Lochan Reoidhte is the first of the lochs past on the Three Lochs drive opened in 1977 to mark the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The trail consists of seven and a half miles of winding forest road. Enter from the Dukes Pass road to enjoy superb views across the forest towards the Trossachs.

Loch Achray added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Loch Achray is a beautiful piece of water in the heart of the Trossachs, lying between Callander and Aberfoyle. This is a conservation area for both the water and the red squirrels that can be found in this area. Brig oTurk is the village nearest to the loch and Trossachs Church on the shores of Achray is probably one of the prettiest churches in Scotland. There is also a car park at the foot of Ben Aan, a small but spectacular little mountain offering walks and views over both Loch Achray and Loch Katrine.

Glen Finglas added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Glen Finglas Reservoir is near Brig OTurk in the heart of the Trossachs.The history of Glen Finglas and its relationship with people goes back thousands of years. Its most famous period was from the early 1300s to the 1700s when Glen Finglas was possibly the most popular of all royal hunting forests. David II, Robert II, James I, II, III, IV and V and many important Scottish Earls hunted here. In particular, James II built a permanent hunting lodge in the glen.More recently, part of the glen was flooded to create a reservoir. A tunnel links it to nearby Loch Katrine. Both provide drinking water to millions of people who live in the city of Glasgow. When the reservoir was flooded the water covered old hay meadows and farmsteads. The remains of field walls can still be seen during periods of low water level.

Loch Lomond added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Loch Lomond owes its origin to the glacial era. The Glaciers ran South from the Ben Lui basin towards the southern end of Loch Lomond which is now Balloch. Loch Lomond has the greatest surface area of freshwater in Britain, approximately 71Km sq and is the longest freshwater loch at 24 miles., and although quite shallow when compared to Loch Ness and Loch Morar not in the park it still holds more water than all the Lakes in the Lake District added together.

Loch Chon added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Loch Chon is a freshwater loch a little upstream from Loch Ard in the Balmacara Hills. Just to the south is the small hamlet of Kinlochard at the northern end of Loch Ard, and beyond the northern end of Loch Chon is Stronachlachar.Loch Chon is surrounded by the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which stretches east from Loch Lomond to Strathyre over mountains and hills, and in the middle is Heron Island. Near the southern end are the narrows of Linne Dhubh and Ceann Mr.

Boathouse Bay - Loch Ard added to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs

Loch Ard has an area of 600 acres and a mean depth of 44 feet and lies to the north of Loch Ard Forest, west of Aberfoyle. The loch is in three parts which are joined by beautiful waterways and this image was taken in the second part travelling away from Milton.This section of the loch sometimes called Little Loch Ard is joined by a small channel inaccessible from the road side and is a slightly larger bay than the first, with a collection of boathouses and a boat jetty commanding views down the Loch west towards Ben Lomond.

Loch Coulin added to Wester Ross

Glen Torridon, which runs some 15 miles from the shores of Loch Torridon to Kinlochewe passes both the beautiful Coulin Estate and the Beinn Eighe nature reserve which is the largest in Britain, covering over 10,000 acres stretching from loch to mountain top. Loch Coulin along with the adjacent Loch Clair offer stunning views of Beinn Eighe in the background.

Chapel of Sand of Udrigil added to Wester Ross

The chapel of Sand of Udrigil, situated in a churchyard crowded with graves, close to the village of Laide. The chapel is traditionally said to have been erected by St Columba or one of his followers, although the character of building suggests a late medieval date for existing structure. A church building is said to have been erected about 1713 by George MacKenzie of Gruinard, but in reality it is likely that work was limited to repairs and rethatching. The chapel seems to have remained in use for worship until at least the end of the 18th century, and was in use for burials by 1834, the earliest decipherable date on any of the gravestones within the walls.

Incoming Weather - Slaggan Bay added to Wester Ross

A second image of Slaggan Bay, the taking of which I was attracted to by both the incoming storm contrasting with the adjacent clear blue sky and the second contrast between the two items washed up onto the sands of the natural seaweed and the man made rope. Both found excactly as captured.

Firemore Sands added to Wester Ross

Firemore is a small crofting settlement on the west coast of Loch Ewe. During the early part of the nineteenth century the inhabitants of the inland glens were cleared to the coast to make way for sheep farming.Firemore has a more infamous claim to fame. On Christmas Day 1950 Scotlands coronation stone, the Stone of Destiny, was taken from beneath the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey by four students, one of whom, Kay Matheson, came from Firemore.The stone was broken in two during its removal. John Rollo, founder of Rollo Industries, had the stone mended and looked after it until it was returned to Arbroath Abbey four months later. Rollo had a small factory which made tractor parts on the Matheson croft at Firemore and it is thought that the stone was hidden here. The police searched the sheds at Firemore. Some would like to believe that the stone which was returned to Arbroath Abbey was a copy and that the real stone still lies hidden in Wester Ross.

Starehole Cove added to Devon

Just past the mouth of the Kingsbridge estuary between Bolt Head and Sharp Tor is the quiet Starehole Bay which includes Starehole Cove.A famous wreck called Herzogan Cecile, or as she was more affectionately known, the Duchess was the last of the truly great clipper ships and when she was breaking up in Starehole Bay in 1936 thousands came to mourn her passing. The remains can still be seen just under the surface at low tide today.

Broad Sand added to Devon

Broad Sand is located between Thurlestone and Bantham on the coastal path.The slates, gravels and sands which make up the coast here are relatively soft and are vulnerable to erosion from the sea, which is pushing the coastline inland little by little over time.The adjacent Thurlestone Golf Club was created in 1897 from a as stretch of coastal scrub.

Bantham Quay added to Devon

The boathouse at Bantham quay on the River Avon, was rebuilt in 1937, and sports local stone walls and sweeping thatch. Its overhanging roof resembles a capsized boat. The boathouse is famous as part of the Lilliput Lane collection of miniature cottages being known as "Sail Away" in Part of the British Collection England.
