Description

It was fifteen years since I had put my bike on Lismore, a nine miles by one stepping-stone island straddling Loch Linnhe, and separating the Lynn of Morvern from the Lynn of Lom. Consisting mainly of low-lying farming country, it is an ideal platform from which to view the generally higher land beyond the mainland shores: to the East, the grant uplands of Appin and Benderloch, culminating in the peaks of Ben Cruachan; to the West, the mighty mounds of Morvern, marching down to the Sound of Mull.
