confusion traced to its source

[winterbadger]

One of the two framed photographs of Scotland that I have hanging in my bedroom is a Michael MacGregor photo of Achnambeithach, the farm in Glen Coe that serves as the HQ for Glencoe Mountain Rescue. Glen Coe is one of the most beautiful places I know, and that photo serves as a touchstone for me for one of the many reasons I want to live in Scotland someday--it is an incredibly beautiful country.

But I always have trouble spelling Achnambeithach (I imagine one of my readers can provide a translation of the name, if tempted properly :-), and frequently I can't find anything on it when I Google. And I realised today that one reason is that the lovely, well-chosen sans serif script that spells out the name on the print says... "Achambeithach".

Yet another reason to suspect that Scotland could use one more editor....

Oh, it's all fun...until you run out of petrol there.

Still, it is beautiful and standing waiting to be brought petrol it was dead silent. Amazing.

Yikes, that is a rather desolate place to be sitting by the side of the road. And with some of the dead curves, also slightly scary place to walk out of, depending on which direction you're going.

But beautiful, nonetheless...
