Heavy Transport This is the second, and behind it the third, of a convoy moving three wind turbine blades eastwards from Kyle of Lochalsh. I was extremely thankful that I was travelling westbound! This is the same convoy shortly afterwards near the Cluanie Dam <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5406196">NH1810 : Wind turbine delivery</a>.

An Leth-Allt Looking upriver from the road bridge, with Creag a' Ghleadhair on the left. I think this means 'the rock of the noisy blow' but I don't know whether this refers to wind or someone hitting someone else, and if so why. The summit of Boc Mòr (631 metres) is just visible on the skyline.

Yellow Pimpernel (Lysimachia nemorum) This low creeping plant is much more common in this part of the world than its better known cousin Scarlet Pimpernel, which prefers drier or better-drained soils.
