Loch Creran and Ben Cruachan

Immediately from the water’s edge rose the mountain Cruachan on the opposite side of the lake; it is woody near the water and craggy above, with deep hollows on the surface.

River Nevis in Glen Nevis, Fort William

Difficult as the crossing of the larger rivers might be, however, the smaller ones and many a hill stream would at times present almost greater problems.

St Fillan had associations with this district, and just hereabouts, where the roads diverge, was enacted a scene strange even in the annals of the Westland. More than usual mystery surrounds the burial-place of St Fillan.

Overlooking Tarbert harbour, Loch Fyne, Argyll Dennis Hardley / www.scotphoto.com

‘We carried on to Tarbert, and by good luck it wass Tarbert Fair. Jeck threw open the boat for visitors, considerin’ the occasion. They came on board in droves to see a mystery ship, and Jeck put roond a hat in the aid of Brutain’s hardy sons. He gaithered seventeen shillin’s, and we stayed three days.’

The rocky ledge runs fair into the sea, And on its outer point, some miles away, The Lighthouse lifts its massive masonry, A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day.

Loch Shiel and Glenfinnan from the slopes of Beinn an Tuim

From this point Charles pursues his wilful path in the fierce glare of history. We know how on the morning of August 19, 1745, he came in a rowing boat up Loch Shiel and stepped ashore on this marshy foreshore of Glenfinnan.
