Tucked away to the east of the
Ardnamurchan Peninuslar,
north of the
Isle of Mull
and south of Skye, is Morvern. Although part of the mainland it is on the way to nowhere, and requires time to reach by single track roads. The area, with its beautiful shores on Loch Linnhe and the Sound of Mull, and remote valleys, retains its composure quietly aside from the crush of numbers that assail those neighbouring islands.

Along the road, that runs by the Sound of Mull, on the south west of Morvern is this 'object'. In the view of it above the horizontal lines and the window, say man made, but it appears to be only natural rock
Along the road is the Caisteal nan con (Castle of the Hounds) which dates from the 1500s, but is not thought to have been in use in the last 3 centuries
