Late summer and Loch Morlich at the foot of the northern Cairngorms was mirror calm. A dawn mist had just about burned off in the sunshine. It's a busy spot in summer with visitors walking, cycling and picnicking, but for now all was quiet.
Not too far away, on the Rothiemurchus estate is the beautiful Loch an Eilein (Loch of the Island) with its island castle. Here too the air was still and the reflections of the surrounding hills were painted across the water. Mornings like this encourage a slow pace to take in the scenery - but not too slow - calm, overcast conditions in summer bring the midges out in force!
