Photograph of the Loch an Eilein, near Aviemore in Scotland, framed by silver birch trees on the left and right and with more trees and hills in the background.
The name of the loch derives from the meaning in Gaelic of 'Loch of the Island'. In the middle of the loch is an island on which is a small castle that was once the property of the Grant Family.
