    Loch Alsh and Beinn na Caillich.

~ I  normally leave things like Eilan Donan Castle to the professionals, but this seemed to merit an exception.

~ From somewhere on Sreath an Fhraoch-choire, which leads on to Sgurr a' Bhealaich Dheirg from the north. 

I was heading for a camp on Sgurr na Ciste Duibh, which given the weather should have been a photographic feast, but instead was a disaster of underexposure - this was the last shot on one film, and the next two are the only just-passable shots on the second. Bad workman, tools, etc, so it may have been my own fault (but I've always suspected that the processing was bungled).

~ A 20 minute exposure on a mountain top, with a flimsy tripod and a lately-risen gibbous moon. Getting my excuses in early.

I think most of the lights on the lochside are car headlights, though that must be Ratagan gleaming brightly on the left. The clusters on the horizon -  now, it seems unlikely, and I'm not entirely sure I believe it myself,  but they do appear to line up with Tarbert (Harris) and Stornoway, 75-80 miles  distant.
