Reader captures eerie footage at Highland beauty spot Loch Glascarnoch





THE extremes of weather have been a source of endless discussion in the Highlands over recent days.

The temperature variation in different parts of the region swung by a reported 34C in the space of 24 hours - an astonishing statistic.

The eerie footage shown here looks computer generated and like something from another world.

Let your imagination run free and you could imagine the tentacles of a monster of the deep pulsing beneath the surface, ready to emerge at any moment.

But no special effects were deployed in the film which was shot on an ordinary Samsung S22 Ultra in Ross-shire.

The footage was captured by one of our regular Ross-shire through the Lens contributors, James McPake at Loch Glascarnoch yesterday.

The reservoir that skirts a section of the A835 on the Inverness - Ullapool road is notorious for its winter lows.

When James was passing, the water was churning ominously with blocks of ice bobbing on the surface.

A regular photographer of the area around Lochluichart and the Fannichs, he admitted he had never seen anything quite like it.

He joked: “It looks like my stomach feels after a curry!”
