Donald MacCulloch's romantic view of Lochaber.

"Lochaber lies in the south of Inverness-shire around the southern end of the Great Glen of Scotland, which stretches from Loch Linnhe to the Moray Firth. It is a region unexcelled in Britain for inspiring scenery and romantic history because in addition to including Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, and its satellites, every acre radiates historic interest."
