Loch Vaich

Remains of the Day Royal wedding day and we have managed to avoid all the fuss! At the end of a memorable day in the hills of the Freevater Forest, climbing Carn Ban and Seana Braigh which can just be seen at far right and above the cyclist respectively. Thanks to William and Kate for a grand day out!

Lubachlaggan These derelict buildings were once part of a larger community at Lubachlaggan. They are now only used as a shelter for sheep. Prior to the 'new' manmade, Hydro Electric dammed, Loch Vaich, Lubachlaggan was on the south shore of Loch Toll a' Mhuic. The old loch began about 300m north of these buildings. The hill in the background is Beinn a Chaisteil.

Primitive ferry, Lubachlaggan Loch Vaich was enlarged for a hydro-electric scheme but remains very narrow here. The local estate appears to use this boat as a primitive ferry with a rope stretched across the narrows to gain easy access for Argo-cats to the west shore.
