Beneath the Surface and the Forgotten Lands
From one of the wildest sea lochs, Paul heads to Loch Ness on the trail of the Jacobites. Returning to Morvern in the west, he dabbles in art before heading to fabled Lochaber.
Paul’s loch-hopping journey starts in the west, on a wild and windswept stretch of Loch Hourn. Travelling inland, he reaches the sheltered Loch Quoich, where he hears tales of Scotland’s last outlaw.
On the shores of Loch Lochy, he meets a couple who had a memorable encounter with a monster from the deep called Lizzie. A detour south leads to a ruined bridge where the first shots of the ’45 were fired, and on Loch Ness, Paul meets a man who remembers the fastest man on water, John Cobb.
Heading west again to the forgotten lands of Morvern, Paul sees the devil in a fossil before plunging deep underground to discover a connection between sand and WWII. At Fort William in Lochaber, he follows a Jacobite theme, encountering the Strange Plate and the secrets of Jacobite banknotes.
Journey’s end is a ‘loch that never was’ beneath the magnificent 300ft Steall Falls.
