Most fascinating hill in Scotland


For some inexplicable reason mountains have a strange fascination for me and immediately I see one ol unusual shape be it on a photograph or in reality then


f am filled with a desire to get it on film. This strange habit, or is it a weakness, has always been with me so that when


1 saw a photosraph of Suilven and Stac Polly many years ago the thought has always been in" my mind that some day I would capture these fantastic shapes on


film. So far my trips to Scotland and the Islands have been


taken up with all sorts of things that this part of the High­ lands have escaped attention. I3ut now, on this last four


miles • from Ullapool to Lochinvcr it was evident my long held desire was to be fulfilled.


You will therefore under­


stand why as each turn of the road gave an entirely new viewpoint the desire was to press the release button again and again. You will also note ' use the


word ‘'strange," for indeed never in all my travels have I encountered such fantastic outlines as on these moun­


scent of the mountains ol' the moon, being in several cases almost weird in outline. Of Suilven it has been said, "There is only one Suilven and it is undoubtedly the most fantastic hill in Scotland.” It rises to 2.309 feet. When seen from the south or north it presents a sleep frontal clitf-like face but from the west its narrowness is strangely apparent. F r a z e r Darling maintains that the nearest place where one could sec such an extraordinary shape is in the Dolomites. And this I thought is to be the ter­ ritory in which I hope to And. watch (and dare X hope), photograph tire equally strange


tains. For some they arc remini­


wards tire surrounding teirain became typically Highland. Ot-licr areas wc had seen were, in comparison, mild and placid, with their stretches of woods, mountains, or fertile glens.

haps consider it all so easy. You may perhaps imagine all the lochs as breeding haunts of these divers. But Jet mo hasten to assure you, you would be wrong. In fact, when first I began my research I was quick to realise the near hopelessness of the task which lay ahead, For although the area is riddled with lochs of varied sizes each is separated great hummocks of Lewisian gniess half the size of Pendle Hill, all of which completely obscures the scene a few hun­ dred yards away. The entire area is so reminiscent of the Ross of Mull and yet so dif­ ferent. with scarcely more than one loch in view at any given point.

VICAR DISAPPOINTED AT DELAY IN SCHOOL EXTENSION SCHEME


An extension to Whalley Church of England School


which will involve a new assembly hall and toilets, work on which was scheduled to start a year ago, has not yet begun.


Reference to this fact was made by the vicar of


Whalley, the Rev. H. C. Snapc, at the annual meeting of parents held in the school on Wednesday evening week. The vicar expressed his


disappointment at the delay and emphasised how much the improvements were necessary. It is hoped Hi at the scheme will be completed next Spring. More than 350 pupils,


parents and friends attended the meeting, when the chil­ dren’s work was on display in the classrooms. Members of the top class sang three songs and played three pieces on recorders.


Parents had the oppor­


such things. On the cbntrary. X chose the place chiefly .because on looking at the map Loch- inver appeared a good place and convenient for the work I had in mind. Again I was impressed and influenced not only with the mountains but by the entire landscape. Take a look at the ordnance


survey map No. 13 or the half inch contoured and you will find as much of the area is taken up by lochs as of land. Indeed there are 280 lochs in the county and, this of interest to anglers, most contain trout. I t is a fisherman’s paradise. All this was of some influence in my choice of headquarters. Here I thought was the haunt of the red throated diver, and perhaps the conspicuous black throated diver. You may per-
