“Who possesses this landscape? —
The man who bought it or
I who am possessed by it?
~
Who owns this landscape?
Has owning anything to do with love?
At least I know who possesses this landscape —
the man who loves it.”

Two short extracts from Norman MacCaig's
‘A Man In Assynt’.

Norman MacCaig (1910-1996) was born in Edinburgh and was educated at the Royal High School, and the University of Edinburgh. He is one of Scotland’s best 20th Century poets.

This photograph was taken near our home here on the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.  * Landscape: The foreground consists of typical moorland vegetation, including tussocks and rushes, leading down to a coastal bay on Loch Bracadale * Background: Rolling hills and distant coastal cliffs of Idrigill Point are visible under a dramatic, cloudy sky.  * Environment: The scene is characteristic of the rural, rugged terrain found in the Scottish Islands but the colours have been adjusted slightly to be a little more vibrant.
