Know this glen

Glenfinnan sits at the head of Loch Shiel in a natural bowl that traps still evening air. The monument area and shoreline are the worst spots; higher ground toward the viaduct is usually better.

The combination of loch, woodland, and shelter makes this one of those places where a beautiful view and a bad evening can arrive together.

“The glen reports excellent feeding conditions at dusk. Morale among the squadrons is regrettably high.”
