Commentary.
No-one talks of fjords in Scotland.
Here, they are known as sea-lochs.
There could be regarded as up to fourteen fjords in Scotland and two or three former fjords, cut off from the sea since previous Ice Ages.
Some are a mere three miles long, several 15-20 miles long
and one, Loch Fyne, up to fifty miles long.
Loch Leven is one such fjord or sea-loch.
It is sumptuously beautiful, colourful, ancient and wooded.
All the sea-lochs are sufficiently varied to deserve
multiple visits and endless awe and wonder.
In this image the mountain range known as Beinn a Bheithir
forms a backcloth to Loch Leven, where it narrows and is bridged, at Ballachulish.
Sgorr Dearg and Sgorr Dhonnuill are linked by a horseshoe arete that is often completed as one climb.
The Pap of Glencoe, left, is a peak that always catches the eye.
Autumn often enriches the colour, textures and tones
of such sea-lochs as Leven, making it spectacularly impressive.
The shapely mountains often reflect in its calm waters
and add a gleaming symmetry to a superb landscape.
