The distinctive pyramidal peak of Sgurr na Ciche is over 20 miles away, Knoydart, Inverness-shire, Scotland."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54629516126_c9b95b117b_m.jpg" width="240" height="83" alt="Western seaboard from the Mallaig to Armadale Ferry. The distinctive pyramidal peak of Sgurr na Ciche is over 20 miles away, Knoydart, Inverness-shire, Scotland." /></a></p> <p>Commentary.<br /> <br /> The sun catches the rocky headlands guarding the entrance to the awesome sea-loch, Loch Nevis.<br /> I was trundling my way across the Sound of Sleat on my journey from the mainland at Mallaig, to Armadale on the Sleat Peninsula, part of the wondrous Isle of Skye.<br /> Nevis twists north, then south and finally east, where it narrows to under a quarter of a mile wide, from a maximum of four miles, at its mouth.<br /> <br /> It is not absurd to suggest that this terrain represents one of the wildest, most remote and isolated in Caledonia and the United Kingdom.<br /> To the left (north) is Knoydart, the “Rough Bounds.”<br /> To the right (south) is North Morar.<br /> Both are only accessible by foot or boat.<br /> There are no metalled roads within an area exceeding a hundred square miles.<br /> <br /> They are truly rugged, remote, untamed and aloof to the influence of humanity.<br /> Starkly untouched, rocky, bare but spartanly pristine, unspoiled, natural wildernesses.<br /> Their raw, unsophisticated beauty rakes at your psyche, your soul, your spirit.<br /> But in this “other world” you find your real self because refinement and urbanity has been stripped away in the face of precipitous rock and Sgurr na Ciche.<br /> <br /> This pyramidal peak, just left of centre is a sentinel,<br /> an icon, a landmark for 20-50 miles in all directions, in this land of raw, unbridled beauty.<br /> Even in this shot it lies beyond the far eastern end of Loch Nevis, twenty miles away in this image.<br /> Should you wish to be “far from the madding crowd,” come here, to the mountains, to the eternal thrones of the Gods.<br /> This is God’s Garden. It is a rocky one. Walk with him.<br /> See your real self in the mountain pool, not the work-place window.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/138759686@N03/">robbob144</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a
