COLIN MacLeod stands on the summit of Ladhar Bheinn, at 1,020m the
highest top in Knoydart. Ladhar Bheinn means "Hoof Mountain", and all
around the peaks and troughs of the Rough Bounds rear spectacularly
like frozen waves, their names sounding a rugged Gaelic litany - Stob
a'Choire Odhair, Bealach Coire Odhar, Bealach Bn, Aonach Sgoilte ...
They mean, respectively, "dun-coloured hill", "dun-coloured pass",
"fair pass" and "split ridge", and for MacLeod, a native Gaelic
speaker from the Isle of Lewis, just reading these names gives
immediate insight into the landscape.
Next month, he gives ...
