Old Photograph Hill Walker Above Loch Maree Wester Ross Scotland

Old photograph of a hill walker above Loch Maree, Wester Ross, Scotland. Like Loch Ness, Loch Maree has its own monster in the form of the muc-sheilch. The loch is often referred to as the most beautiful loch in the Highlands. The most prominent mountain on the northern side of Loch Maree is Slioch, one of Scotland's Munros, a mountain over 3,000 feet high, which dominates the eastern end of the loch above Kinlochewe. It is composed mainly of Torridonian sandstone of Precambrian age, lying on a bedrock of Lewisian gneiss. It is popular for hill walking, scrambling and climbing.
