Rannoch Moor Waters

This expanse was at the heart of the last significant icefield in the UK during the Loch Lomond Stadial at the end of the last ice age. Once the great mass of ice had melted, the subsequent unburdening of the Earth's crust resulted in a continuing rise in the land which is estimated to be of the order of 2-3 mm per year.

Despite being around 1,000 feet above sea level there are huge areas of water, probably from the ice age melts and to get photos like this you need to trudge through boggy moorland and be prepared to have the odd above the boot water experience.

This will be my WBC photo for the week under theme of Water
