Amazing skyscapes
A spell of more settled, frosty
weather has brought with it a series of stunning sunrises and
sunsets in the North West. This picture was taken today looking
South East along Little Loch Broom, Dundonnell. The peak on the
right is Mac is Mathair which is part of the An
Teallach massif - the most dramatic mountain on the Scottish
mainland. Sometimes spelt Mac 'us Mathair this unusual Gaelic name
means 'Son and Mother' in English. Some local people think this
explains the title 'An Teallach' because 'teallach' may derive from
the Gaelic word 'teaghlach' which means 'family'. Nearly all
mountain guide books, however, reckon An Teallach means the
'forge'.
