Description
Possibly one of the most remote settings in Scotland, the lodge at Carnmore in the LetterEwe wilderness.
Shame the lodge is not open to your everyday scum, we had to make do with the nearby barn for the night and the prospect of 12 hours walking in the horizontal rain the next day!
It would be an amazing area to see in good conditions, but I doubt I'll hurry back!
Thanks for viewing.

Great view, Anthony. You complain about the horizontal pressure showers provided? I'll bet the residents at the Lodge don't have that amenity ;o). Some of the folk up there are not very welcoming, even though they depend on the tourist trade. Some of the 'tourist traps' charge prices that would not be out of place on the French Riviera, and they wonder why folk don't come back. The Letterewe estate welcomes deer stalkers etc. I am sure that hill walkers are not one of their priorities. We are free to wander ( except on Rail and MOD land and BOAG estates ) up here in Scotland, but some folk would like to charge us even for partaking of the views and the fresh air. The ordinary folk are still welcoming, though. My grandfather, his health failing, was taken on a tour of the north of Scotland ( Black Isle, Tongue, Wick etc.), in the summer of 1956. He enjoyed the views because they were as grim and stark as the land he had hill farmed on as a youngster, before getting a job on rail track maintenance in the first years of the 20th century. He was still doing that job in the Second World War. He talked to a few of the local farmers and estate workers, and one or two of the travelling people too, knowing him, sharing his baccy and his crac. Have a nice week ahead. Thanks again for sharing your images and your experiences getting to the POVs. Regards, John.

An amazing view! Gorgeous looking mists to look at. I'm sure being in them is a wee bit different.

Wonderful moody shot! Sleeping in a barn and walking all day in the rain! Mercy, that sounds like fun....:/ Bravo to you for your perseverance, in spite of the innkeeper's lack of empathy!
