Auchintaple Loch

Blue sky and sun this morning, so I decided to head up to Auchintaple Loch further on from Loch Shandra.  The scenery was absolutely spectacular today and the fairly easy climb up through the heather is worthwhile to get the views down to Auchintaple.  Absolute gem of a loch with the most amazing boat house which appears to have been recently refurbished, think I could quite happily live there and wake up to the view across the loch every morning.  Scots Pine trees are in abundance around here and you can imagine what the ancient landscape of Scotland must have once looked like.

Loch Shandra in better weather.
