The snow covered Corries of Lochnagar, winter in the Cairngorms National Park, Balmoral Estate, Scotland uk


Situated in the royal estate of Balmoral, Lochnagar is a majestic mountain, undoubtedly the finest in the Mounth. Its most splendid feature is the great north-east corrie with its 200-metre high cliffs overlooking the little loch which gives the mountain its name. South-westwards from the summit, the wide Mounth plateau stretches far away to the rounded dome of Glas Maol and the deep indentations of the Angus glens. Such is its height and commanding appearance that Lochnagar completely dominates the landscape of Deeside.
