NM8690 : South shore of Loch Morar from Sron a' Choin

near to Kinlochmorar [other Features], Highland, Great Britain

South shore of Loch Morar from Sron a' Choin

Sron a' Choin (Dogs Nose)is the bluff rising steeply from the east end of Loch Morar. The white speck in the lower centre in the photo is Oban Bothy. Crossing from Oban to Kinlochmorar or to Gleann an Lochain Eanaiche it is necessary to climb over the bluff since there is no access at loch level. This involves a steep ascent of 100 metres. It is not recommended in the height of summer when it is covered in head high bracken. Census returns for 1891 show that Oban then had a population of 18 whilst Kinlochmorar, across the loch, had one family of 3.
