View looking to Dingwall and Ben Wyvis

William Laidlaw's description of Communion at The Burn, referring to the view looking over to Dingwall and Ben Wyvis, says "the scene was really indescribable". This 21st century view, about a mile west of The Burn, is equally a scene really indescribable, and is taken courtesy of the website of Ferintosh Free Church.
