<p>Commentary. <br />
 <br />
<br />
No-one talks of fjords in Scotland. <br />
Here, they are known as sea-lochs. <br />
There could be regarded as up to fourteen “fjords” in Scotland and two or three former fjords, cut off from the sea since previous Ice Ages. <br />
Some are a mere three miles long, several 15-20 miles long<br />
and one, Loch Fyne, up to fifty miles long. <br />
Loch Leven is one such fjord or sea-loch. <br />
It is sumptuously beautiful, colourful, ancient and wooded. <br />
All the sea-lochs are sufficiently varied to deserve <br />
 multiple visits and endless awe and wonder. <br />
In this image the mountain range known as Beinn a Bheithir <br />
forms a backcloth to Loch Leven, where it narrows and is bridged, at Ballachulish. <br />
Sgorr Dearg and Sgorr Dhonnuill are linked by a horseshoe arete that is often completed as one climb. <br />
Autumn often enriches the colour, textures and tones <br />
of such sea-lochs as Leven, making it spectacularly impressive. <br />
The shapely mountains often reflect in its calm waters <br />
and add a gleaming symmetry to a superb landscape.</p>
