Isolated Peat Island at Upper River Spey

This image shows the erosion of peat on the River Spey with a distant view to Creag Mhor in the background. Along this cutting of the Spey, remnants of trees via their buried roots can be seen at quite a shallow depth, indicating that the Upper Spey valley was forested at a not to distant past.
