<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
<br />
A gentler, more colourful Highlands is Perthshire.<br />
Glistening &quot;ribbon&quot; lochs run west to east,<br />
some large, some small.<br />
Verdant pastures for sheep and cattle, and golden arable fields make a striking patchwork, between the peaks.<br />
High Munros of beige and purple with the subtle tones and textures of lower slopes, resplendent with mostly mature Deciduous woodland.<br />
Meandering, surging and vibrant rivers flow from the famous lochs of Rannoch, Tummel, Tay and Earn, in Straths, as opposed to glens, being wider, sometimes less steep,<br />
but all farmed on the rich, water-deposited alluvium.<br />
Rapids, cataracts and waterfalls are common,<br />
as Salmon leap back to their spawning grounds.<br />
Rural villages, like Aberfeldy, cradled in these valleys,<br />
have dwellings and bridges made of Granite,<br />
seemingly everlasting.<br />
Legends, poetry and song have immortalised<br />
these timeless hills and valleys.<br />
It is their glorious diversity of colour<br />
that lingers long in our memory.</p>
