Leanach Cottage

It looks good Peter, nice composition and rich tonality. For my monitor you can give the lights or overall contrast some more. Bert

Thanks. Now I've more confidence in it, I'll have to stretch it a bit further!

No problem with an information centre but it sounds as if they could be ruining the site. They have certainly prevented you setting the cottage into context. I haven't been there since 1970 when it hadn't changed from a previous visit in 1956. There wasn't much to see except the stones detailing the fall of the various clan chiefs and the cottage itself. Late on an early evening in March with dusk approaching, it was still quite atmospheric though.The horror was the fact that the cottage represented farm life going on while the carnage of battle occurred around it.

Relatively flat and boggy, it always surprises tourists who expect a "highland and maybe romantic" mountainous setting. Naseby, an English Civil War battlefield near where I now live in the South Midlands is more hilly.
