A Scottish photographer has captured a "haunting" picture of a bridge in Glen Kinglass that comes with a captivating history.
Jimmy Ireland took the moody photograph of the Butter Bridge located in the shadow of Beinn Ime in the Arrochar Alps of Argyll. The southern Highlands spot is perfectly captured in Ireland's image, with a dark grey fog having an imposing presence in the background of the shot.
The name of the bridge derives from the translation of the Scottish Gaelic Beinn Ime: Butter Mountain. Another theory is that it takes its name from the tradition of bringing cattle up into the glen over the summer for pasture, where they would be milked, and cheese and butter would be produced.
