I nod and nod to my own shadow and thrust
A mountain down and down.
Between my feet a loch shines in the brown,
Its silver paper crinkled and edged with rust…

I saw a picture of Suilven recently and was wondering if I had any pictures of the mountain from our Scotland trip back in 2016 so I went and dug out the archives. Turns out I have a few. This one is the best one I got. I do wish that the pole wasn't there but I don't care enough to remove it digitally.

The view east from the top of (in our opinion) Scotland's best mountain, Suilven, inland from Lochinver on the west coast of Sutherland. Just 2,389ft high, the name is said to come from the Norse for "Pillar Mountain". More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lochinver/suilven/index.html

@addie Fabulous shot. #Suilven is, as @withaveeay and I discuss from time to time, the World’s Greatest Mountain.

This photo taken near #Lochinver in 2018 turned out well. That’s #Suilven in the background.

For #caturday, here’s a sleeping #Canisp on the desk. He’s named after the mountain in the northwest of #Scotland (his brother is called #Suilven).
