I have written elsewhere on this blog (search 'Living with a View') about how fortunate I consider myself to have lived in several houses which had spectacular views. When we first bought the house we now inhabit, we didn't think it had a view - not until we had moved in and realised that there is a view, a sea view almost due south across the Dornoch and Moray Firths to the Nairn-Lossiemouth coastline to the east of Inverness.
Like all good views it's a view which changes with the time of day, the season and....
....the weather but it does have its limitations. For a start, it's a very distant view, squeezed between trees and over a neighbour's garage, and it has two street lights which rather spoil it. There is a more serious limitation, in that, when we first bought the house, the only place it could be seen was from the landing on the stairs. We're working on developing the view so it can be enjoyed in rather more comfort but this morning I realised something which must, surely, enhance its value: it includes a glimpse of....
....the Cairngorms., though they're probably best seen through....
....a telescope.
