Highland Cattle, Loch Etive

If there is one thing that can be certain to stop tourist traffic in the north and west of Scotland it is Highland Cattle,   Put them in a field next to a loch, with one or two of them appearing to graze on the seaweed , and you get a full lay-by and a few more cars perched precariously on the verge whilst the fence line is overtopped by happy visitors with raised cameras.

I came across that scene on my way back from Oban this afternoon and I have to admit that there were lots of good pictures just there for the taking, including this one.
