Tour Scotland Photographs River Shira Argyll

Tour Scotland photograph of the River Shira, North of Inveraray, Scotland. This Scottish river runs through Glen Shira, originating from a dammed loch to the north. The river includes a few waterfalls and islands, including Eilean an Eagail, The Island of Fear. It eventually flows into a dubh loch, where the Ancient Clan MacNaghten castle and crannogs used to be. The earliest reference to the Clan Macnaghten is in connection with great Pictish rulers of Moray. The name ' Nechten ' which means " pure " or " clear " was popular in the Pictish royal line. The originator of the clan is believed to have been Nechtan Mor who lived in the 10th Century.
