  • Grey Corries, Golden Days by MIKE KENT
    34 GREY CORRIES, GOLDEN DAYS MIKE KENT My days in the Grey Corries began one Aberdeen Spring Holiday, late on a Friday afternoon. Friends were motoring down to stay in Lochaber for the long weekend and I took the opportunity of a lift, arranging to come back with them on the Monday night. Leaving Aberdeen early in the afternoon, I was very soon standing alone just off the A82 outside Spean Bridge. View of Grey Corries Massif from near Spean Bridge. (Drawing by Mike Kent) The weekend weather promised to be settled, with high pressure squatting over the country like a great warm hen, protecting all us wee birds from the vagaries of the normal climate. It was 4.30 p.m. and I set off briskly wanting to camp high on that first night. The road climbed steadily across open grassland then plunged through vernal green mature larches into the depths of the Leanachan Forest. After Theanother 2 km Cairngormthe farm of Leanachan appeared, alon e Clubin its clearing in the forest. There, concentrating on avoiding unplumbed depths of mud, I lost the path that I wanted so I struck straight up the hill through the trees heading for the disused tramway that ran from Loch Treig to Fort William during construction of the aqueduct to the smelter. Now it lies abandoned along the contour of the hill just fifty metres below the 'parallel road' at 260 m. Those shore line signatures of a long gone ice-dammed lake are well enough known in Glen Roy but also can be found on the hills around Glen Spean.

ALEXANDER STEWART, LL.D., "With Beautiful "Woodcut Frontispiece by Whymper. Crown 8uo, Cloth, 10s. 6d. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. ' ' ' Nether Lochaber ' lias been styled a phenomenon in the literary world. No other writer is at all equal to him on his native heath. He has imitators, just as Dickens and Carlyle have imitators, but as one star differeth from another star in glory, so do ' Nether Lochaber's ' imitators. He is the centre sun, and all other Highland naturalists revolve round him. The truth is, that we fail to appreciate the influence and wonderful scope of his knowledge in matters terrestrial and celestial, because we have him amongst us. ' Nether Lochaber ' was the first public writer to popularise science." Oban Times. "We lay 'Nether Lochaber' aside with much reluctance, for a more enjoyable book we have not read for many a day. The delicious breeze of the sea and the heather stirs its every page, and the whole bears the mark of a rare literary grace and elegance." Whitehall lie fit w. " This is a delightful book, worthy to be ranked with White's History of Selbourne, full of accurate yet amusing descriptions of the habits of beasts, birds, and fishes, intermingled with Highland folk-lore, and overflowing with quiet humour." N. B. Mail. "Such a book as 'Nether Lochaber,' by the Rev. Alexander Stewart, belongs to the best class of the lighter literature of natural history—a class in which we have already so many good books.

  • Road to Nowhere?
    Viewpoint Road to nowhere? Time: 15 mins Region: Scotland Landscape: rural Location: The very end of Belford Rd (the C1162), often known as ‘The Glen Nevis Road’, Fort William PH33 6SY Grid reference: NN 17796 68560 Getting there: Drive to the very end of Belford Road. From this car park at the very end of the road, follow the path for about a mile from the far end of the car park along the side of the ‘Water of Nevis’ (River Nevis). Shortly after the valley opens up a large waterfall is visible in front of you. Stop where the path splits. Since leaving the main road, you will have travelled from a flat and wide road which will gradually have turned into a more remote and winding pathway. As the road narrowed and became more of a rollercoaster track than a road with banked turns, steep drops, trees and boulders at every turn you headed deeper into the ever deepening valley. You have now walked a further mile with the rapid River Nevis weaving its way down the mountainside through the gorge to your right. Where does this seemingly ‘road to nowhere’ lead? The answer is all around you - nature, and people’s love for exploring it! Firstly, you can see and probably hear Britain’s second highest waterfall, ‘Steall Falls’. Also known as ‘An Steall’, which is Gaelic for “The White Spout”, this huge, roaring beast of a waterfall is the result of the stream Allt Coire a Mhail literally tumbling off the mountain side. On a clear day, whether in the hot humid summer or the icy colds of winter, this peak and the waterfall traversing it stand out in the open plain like a mirage in a desert landscape.
