Kingairloch

View of Loch Linnhe from Kingairloch.

Today I had to go to Kingairloch. The weather was better than the incessant cold rain that we've experienced over the last few days -there were some sunny intervals between showers.
 Kingairloch is very remote and very beautiful . To get there one has to take a narrow single track road with the sea on one side and cliffs on the other. Eventually you reach a stunning bay with a little white church and a few cottages. I visited the church and was to surprised to find some impressive stained glass windows , not what I would expect in a tiny place of worship in a remote hamlet.
 I'm not a Christian but I found the profound quietness in the church moving , an oasis of stillness in a busy chaotic world.
It turns out that the stained glass windows were commisioned by George Herbert Strutt who bought the estate in 1902. The Strutt family made their fortune in the cotton industry and were from Belper in Derbyshire.
