After a 2 hour climb in 60mph winds and -20C windchill I finally reached the summit of Schiehallion, imagine my delight at the expansive view I had in mind....

The conditions for photography were so difficult, my hands had stopped working and were very painful but I was determined to achieve an image considering the effort I had put in.

Schiehallion is a famous mountain, in 1774 Nevil Maskelyne, the Astronomer Royal used Schiehallion in an experiment to determine the average density of the earth using a pendulum and detecting the gravitational attraction of an isolated and symmetrical mass, Schiehallion was the perfect object.
