...close to this spot in 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie stepped foot on Scottish soil to raise the Clans and fight the English for the throne of Scotland.
But on a quiet morning you can hear the bagpipes play and imagine the clans marching down the glen to greet Prince Charles Edward Stewart.
The rest as they say is history...

I really must visit here .. beautiful scenery and interesting history.
Crystal clear and icy cold water running over stones - this is a stunning spot Dougie - with or without the pipers.
Thanks for your kind comments - you're right (trying to run before I can walk... 
)

Ann that wasn't the message I was trying to send. Your work is very good without the NEED of any tricks or effects, that's quite a quality my friend.
Lovely glassy water and foreground detail, well captured in difficult lighting conditions.

I was up there in 2002 just after retiring (with a Light and Land holiday organised by my partners) and the scenery is quite stunning as your shot shows, Dougie.
Again the vertical format works to advantage here and you have such excellent full DOF giving crisp detail at all levels.
And sun at Glenfinnan.......quite unheard of......you'll have to hasten back when it's chucking it down.

great landscape picture from the pebbles in the f/g to the clouds in the rear
I stood there at Easter my head full of the works of John Prebble and thoughts of the '45 and thought what a tragic chain of events was set in action after the raising of the standard at Loch Shiel. The location certainly won't disappoint the romantics amongst us! Lovely image, m8
