Looking down Loch Katrine from the Glen Gyle end

An autumnal view of a special place: Rob Roy country! The Glen Gyle end of Loch Katrine is steeped in history, as is the whole area. The fishing group in the boat appeared contented and the view down to Ben Venue is so good, there were many positives for me in this image. As is well known, Loch Katrine is a main source of water for the Glasgow conurbation. A natural loch, its level has been raised three times.

Eilean Dharag is also known as Factor's Island, where Rob Roy MacGregor held the Duke of Montrose's factor, Graham of Killearn, as prisoner following an attack on his wife and home.

Not so far away, but the road still has about 10km to go, around the head of Loch Katrine. Beinn Narnain forms the backdrop.

Now that the sheep have gone, the woodlands are spreading away from the shore.
