Title: Glencoe
Post by: Chairman Bill on May 27, 2009, 01:09:44 pm

Some photos from a recent trip to Scotland. Weather was appalling - 70 mph winds on the tops, minus 17 windchill, snow, rain, hail. Typical Scottish spring really. Cloudbase on both Skye & in Assynt was very low, so a move to Glencoe afforded a few more photographic opportunities. Hopefully in September I'll get some from the ridges & tops.

That first one is really really good. First pic of Glencoe I've ever seen that I liked.

I agree with POM - all good, but the first one's the best.

Welcome to sunny Scotland!  Nice pics.

Was down that way on Saturday past, low cloud and mist but warm, couldn't see anything, so no pics.

Thanks for the positive comments. A friend from Dundee has left me feeling sick with reports on the weather in Glencoe over the last week or so. He claims it wasn't raining - not sure if I should believe him.

Just think how less interesting your pictures would have been with clear blue skies though
