Rannoch Moor, Scotland – Mountains and water

Rannoch Moor is a desolate area of loch strewn bog, it is covers an area of more than 20 square miles of over 1000 foot and is one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe.

The series of images that follow were taken whilst on a winter return trip from Glasgow. I originally had no intention of stopping at Rannoch Moor to photograph anything as I had another appointment to complete before heading home. However, as soon as I saw these views on the drive opening up in glorious winter sunshine I just could not resist the opportunity and decided to stop, donned boots and waterproofs and headed to the nearest loch.

Though I was only able to manage a brief stop at Rannoch Moor I was able to complete these images in about 15 minutes, I know I did not give the area the time it deserved and it would have been great to have spent a few more hours trying different locations and compositions but circumstances dictated otherwise. I consoled myself with the images from the moment secure in the knowledge that I had done my best in the limited time available.

Hope you think the time was well spent and you enjoy these Rannoch Moor images.
