This is An Teallach, the ancient hearthstone mountain on which, the legends say, the Old Gods forged the Highlands of Scotland in fire and ice, back in the mists of time. As dawn breaks in the north west Highlands, the sun rises over the horizon to the north east and, for about 10 minutes, it turns the mountain fire red. An Teallach (pronounced - An Chelluck) means the hearthstone of the forge and when the mountain turns these glorious colours its easy to see why it gets its nickname, The Forge. The photo is taken across Toll an Lochain (translated - the small loch of the hollow), a small loch high up in the hills at the base of the mountain. Seeing the mountain turn blood red at sunrise is one of the most spectacular sights in Scotland but it is a rare sight to see the mountain in all its glory. To get this photo involved a 3 and a half hour hike the day before up to Sail Liath (Sal Lia) one of the mountain's peaks and a careful climb round the rock shelves of the side of the mountain, avoiding the treacherous gullies, to eventually reach Toll an Lochain carrying my camping gear and camera kit. Overnight camp with a wee dram of 25 year old whisky to keep out the night chill was complete when the Perseid meteor shower flashed over the mountain top. Slainte Mhath (Slan-ge Va - good health).
