Glen Roy

Decided to drive up the west side of Glen Roy before we headed home. Had been up the east side before.

Glen Roy has the most spectacular example of a landscape formed in the last ice age to be found anywhere in Britain. There are "parallel roads" which run both sides of the glen at heights of 260m, 325m and 350m. They are actually lines left by the shoreline of a vast loch that filled Glen Roy some 10,000 years ago, held in place by a dam of ice formed at the head of the glen.

The photo is of the River Roy. We also saw our first wheatear and meadow pipits of the year.

Stopped at Crafts and Things for coffee and scone (of course) and Glencoe was looking at its best with the sun shining and a smattering of snow on the mountains. The Meeting of the Three Waters only had a trickle of water. Stopped at Rannoch to take some photographs. Pity the much photographed tree was blown down!
