Description
Scotland, Argyll, Glen Shiel/ Kintail
Today a view to the north of the road and onto the "5 sisters of Kintail".
The LEGEND of the famous munros:
The five sisters were originally seven, but two brothers sailed into Loch Duich from a foreign land and were smitten by the youngest two sisters. Their father refused to allow them to marry until their older sisters were all first betrothed, but relented when the sailors swore they had five eligible elder brothers of their own who would be delighted to marry them. The two brothers sailed off with their new brides, never to be seen again.
The five remaining sisters waited... and waited... until they turned into stone, their feet in the rivers and heads in the clouds, there to wait in Kintail for ever for their non-existant husbands.
Thanks a lot for all appreciated comments! ;o)
