At Westend in Achmore the low setting sun lifts the red tones in the heather and draws you to enjoy the beauty as far as the eye can see. The ever changing, exquisite quality of light dapples the rusty red moorland and accentuates age old hill features never seen before. The feminine form of Cailleach na Mointeach, mentioned by a Greek writer thousands of years ago, is an ever present feature of the scenery viewed several times a day from the Westend kitchen. The light caressing her features bring tendrils of hair and a sharply pointed elbow to view in the winter frost.
