Photograph taken at 10:25am on Thursday 12th September 2013 at an altitude of one hundred and thirty two metres,  off the A84 on a tiny single track road winding adjacent to Loch Voil, a small freshwater loch approximately 5 km (3½ miles) in length, and separated from Loch doine by the River Larig. Loch Voil is drained at its northern end by the River Balvaig at Balquhidder. 

This road leads from Kingshouse towards Cragmhor Bed and breakfast, and onwards towards Balquhidder itself. Rob Roy's grave is just a stonethrow from this spot at 2 Druimbeag, Kirkton, Lochearnhead.
