Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
A beautiful scene with the mountains. It's too far to go in a day.

@Observing: Oh yes way to far. If you hoofed it you could get there in about six hours.
Cheers dude.

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Thanks for visiting my blog, Alun. What a splendid landscape! Full of history, if the cottage could speak! I'd like to be there and also when the weather is less fine, listen to these stories with a fine glass of Glenlivet or other single malt :)

@Illuci: That sounds fantastic, thank you for the visit Illuci.

Pied Crow from Nairobi, Kenya
What time of year is this taken? Lovely the way the light greens enliven what could be somewhat grey scene.

Henry from Boston, United States
I like this shot because it is kind of alien to me. I don't imagine Scotland having such cozy quality. It didn't look that way in Braveheart or Trainspotting! Nice photo!
4 May 2008 9:29pm
@Henry: It is a lovely place, Loads of mountains. Cheers Henry
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Wow, I know this spot well, and you were so fortunate to be there in such amazingly bright light. Spectacular capture, I can smell the fresh air of Rannock Moor. and Glen Coe itself just looking at the shot.
4 May 2008 10:03pm
@Richard_Irwin: Thanks Richard, im glad you like it. I just love the area, after taking this shot we were of to the kings house for a pint,
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
What makes this image more than a picture of a pretty landscape is the house. The cottage is the dominant element.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Looks like Rob Roy's house --though perhaps, since it's been so long since I've seen the movie, that is misrecollection. Nice pastoral scene with vivid color and pleasing whites.

@Twelvebit: Thank you Twelvebit
