From Ardgour is the only area that you can see the Ben Nevis, Mamore & Glencoe Mountains in a single view at ground-level.
This panoramic evening view also sums up how marvellous Inchree's location is, with it being equi-distant to all 3 mountain areas. (10 minutes to Glencoe, 15 - 20 minutes to Ben Nevis & Mamores.)
Evening view cross Loch Linnhe to the Glencoe Mountains.
From left, cliffs of Aonach Dubh, Stob Coire nan Lochan & Stob Coire nam Beith.
Evening light bathes Ben Nevis's southern aspect & summit plateau. This spectacular viewpoint is found by turning right after getting off the Corran Ferry, and driving (or cycling or walking) up the minor road on the west side of Loch Linnhe for a few miles. Highly recommended for a more unusual view of the Ben.
The prominent gully in the centre of the photo is known as 'Five Finger Gully', (due to its widening sweep at the top) and has been known as a notorious accident blackspot for climbers and walkers, caused mainly by them straying unwittingly into the gully when descending from the summit plateau.
The narrowness of the plateau from the top lip of the gully can clearly be seen, (100-odd metres from this edge to the edge of the north face opposite) making little margin for navigational error if descending in bad weather or fading light.
See link to the left for a downloadable navigation card on the above.

Landscapes by Cubby Images
- Dave Cuthbertson (Cubby) is one of Scotland's foremost climbers, with many cutting-edge, first ascents to his credit. He was instrumental in providing Scottish climbing with something of a new face-lift in the 70's and 80's (and into the 90's)and has played a significant part in the development of modern rock and ice climbing in Glen Coe; a passion that continues to this day. Cubby makes a living as an International Mountain guide, which he combines with photography and occasionally providing safety and technical consultancy to the TV and film industry. His most recent assignment was something of a starring role in which Cubby acted as Joe Simpson's climbing double in 'Touching the Void.' and performed stunts for one of the most famous falls in climbing history. You can also view a selection of Cubby's landscape photography on the wall in our Four Seasons Pub, as well as from his website at www.cubbyimages.co.uk.
