A lone Pine, high on the slopes of Beinn Eighe, in the Torridon Mountains of Wester Ross, Scottish Highlands. Despite its exposure to the extremes of mountain weather and its rocky footing, it struggles on.

That’s a lovely tree portrait. It certainly must have stories to tell.

I should imagine it could, being located high above one of the old drovers tracks that edge round the mountain slopes it will have witnessed a great deal…..let the imagination run free. Rustlers, Travellers or may be Clan Chiefs leading a Battle party, Custom Men chasing those illicit Whisky Distillers. ….and today Mountaineers tackling the Torridon Range 🙂
