On Saturday 26th March 2022 I left Loanhead at 4am to be lochside at Kilchurn Castle for dawn.
I moved to Rannoch Moor and Lochan na-h-Achlaise for reflections in the Lochan.
Then to Loch Achtriochtan followed by the Glencoe Lochan. Last was a brief roadside
stop by Loch Tulla.
Each location has it's own album on my website dated 26th March 2022. See latest photos page for that date.
I thought for such a perfect photography day that I should also list all 104 images on one page for easy browsing
.
Here they are below.
The scenery was breathtaking at times. |

| First Stop at Dawn |
| Kilchurn Castle Reflections |
| |
Saturday 26th March 2022.
Kilchurn Castle Reflections, Scotland.
Kilchurn Castle is a ruined structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
This was my First stop of the morning on a terrific photography day.
I had waited about two months for a weather forecast of little wind. To get the reflections. I set off from Loanhead at 4am to be at this first photography location for dawn at about 6.25am.
The low mist was starting to rise at dawn as I hoped for. The sight was breathtaking and the reflections at times so pure and clear.
I was the only person at Kilchurn Castle to witness such a beatiful view that morning
.
I switched between two lenses. I loved the wide view with mountains in background. Then the closer view with second lens.
37 images of Kilchurn Castle.
I will return to Kilchurn Castle again. |

| Second Stop |
| Lochan na-h-Achlaise Reflections |
| |
Saturday 26th March 2022.
Lochan na-h-Achlaise Reflections at Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Scotland. With Black Mount Mountains in background.
This was my second stop of the morning on a terrific photography day.
I had waited about two months for a weather forecast of little wind in area . To get the reflections. I set off from Loanhead at 4am to be at my first photography location for dawn.
The reflections on the Lochan were so pure and clear it took my breath away. I love clouds in a blue sky. Then clouds started to get too heavy. Glad I arrived when I did.
Many tourists from UK and abroad were stopping to admire the beautiful scenery. I gave a few my card with my hobby website listed. I hope they come on to my website to see my promised images.
A few hours later I stopped again here on way south (homewards). The breeze had arrived and killed the reflections.
