Nearing the end of our time in Scotland, we were looking forward to the drive through Glencoe ...

| ' Lagangarbh Cottage ' |
As timing would have it, our trip was made in glaringly bright mid-day sunshine. Not great for photography and not what I would choose if I were to plan a photography specific visit to the stunning area.
Add to the scenario, roads very busy with tourists (off season now begins in October and perhaps as late as November) and any of the parking areas were jammed full leaving no opportunity to stop at the locations I had planned. Three Sisters ... scratch. Glencoe Waterfall ... scratch. Meeting of Three Waters ... scratch.
Well I'll be dammed if I'm not gonna get a shot of Lagangarbh Cottage! While the traditional spot to stop was chock full, a bit further south I saw a small farm entrance with space for one more, turned sharply and jammed on the brakes to skid to a stop. With a "what the ..." from my passenger I said "I'm at least gonna get one photo while in Glencoe !
And here you have it! Lagangarbh Cottage, on the banks of the River Etive with the mountains of Glencoe as a backdrop.
