IMGP0085

Walking back from Taymouth Castle.

If you take the formal tarmac road to the castle from the gateway in the Kenmore village square, you follow a delightful winding way through pine and broadleaf-woods and fields, through a well-maintained golf-course, past ponds and fairways, with views like this of the surrounding highland landscape. Ben Lawers is the dominant peak, with others often visible, which I have yet to name and identify. The road winds down to the castle with the Tay sparkling a long way below, and dippers and mallards and other water-fowl active in the fast-flowing current. So, this view is westwards, with Kenmore village hidden and below the left-hand side of the photo and the Tay lying below the banks of Drummond Hill on the right hand side.
