Ballachulish

I've never had my camera out since Sunday. Anyway here's another photo from Scotland. I keep going back to them and processing more (there was so many LOL). This was taken at a little inlet in North Ballachulish.

St Conans Kirk (church)

...................................Robert the Bruce................................

The original St Conan's Kirk at Loch Awe was built between 1881 and 1886, and comprised the nave and part of the choir of the later church that visitors see today. Walter Campbell had grander plans, however, and in 1907 he began work on a much more ambitious church. Walter worked on this until his death in 1914, and his sister Helen ran the project from 1918 until her death in 1927. It was completed by their trustees. All the stone used to build the church came from boulders on nearby hillsides that were rolled to the site before being worked.

Not the best of shots as it was a very damp rainy day when we saw this church. Inside was fabulous but unfortunately most of my images didn't turn out well.

Day 2 - Sunday

The Glen Etive road meanders for some 14 miles to the head of Loch Etive, where it ends in a turning circle near a ruined pier. And that's it. The road down Glen Etive is the original "road to nowhere".
It's not always been that way. In 1750 there was a track running down the south side of the loch as far as Taynuilt.And from 1847 a steamer service from Oban operated to the now derelict pier at which the modern road ends.
Glen Etive is a magnet for climbers and hillwalkers, who come there especially to climb the mountains around Ben Starav to the south east and the Glen Coe mountains to the north and west. It is the sight of the most beautiful scenery in the highlands.
