Pitlour Hill (31 Dec 2023)
I took the Pentax for the last day of 2023, and visited Pitlour Hill. I didn’t find my way to the trig point, and since then one of the fields I walked in to access…
Maspie Den (29 Dec 2023)
After some very, very wet weather there was plenty of water in Maspie Burn, unlike in the summer when it was practically dry. I walked up to the main waterfall with the Pentax and a…
Snow on Barbed Wire (02 Dec 2023)
We had something resembling winter for a couple of days, so I took a photo or two. Shutter speed: 1/1100s Aperture: ƒ/1.7 ISO: 59 Focal length: 4.38mm Taken: 2 December, 2023 13:12 Camera: Pixel 6a Location: 56° 17.367′ 0″ N 3° 13.9421667′…
Garry Bridge (31 Oct 2023)
It was so, so worth getting up very early to get this light. It had been a cold night and the frost was just starting to life where the sun was shining. I rushed to…
Geal Chàrn M277 (23 Oct 2023)
My original intention was to climb this Munro, plus A’ Mharconaich, but I thought the weather was starting to close in so cut my walk short. It starts at the splendidly-named Balsporran Cottages, and there…
Càrn na Caim M233 and A’Bhuidheanach Bheag M239 (23 Sep 2023)
These two Munros form a long, fairly level ridge to the east of Drumochter pass which I found myself imagining XC skiing along. There is a very well-made path most of the way up, which…
Schiehallion M59 (12 Sep 2023)
I like to start walking by 8am, and that day there was mist lying in the valleys. Because of it’s position, Schiehallion can have great views across Rannoch Moor to the Glencoe hills. Cloudbase wasn’t…
Forth Bridge (08 Sep 2023)
I had always wanted to see the bridge with it’s feet hidden in mist, and I finally got my chance. This was taken from the coach heading south over the Forth Road Bridge. Shutter speed: 1/1400s…
Creag Leachach M158 and Glas Maol M69 (05 Sep 2023)
Another splendid day’s hillwalking from Glenshee saw me reach the summits of Creag Leachach and Glas Maol. Creag Leachach is a splendid little hill, and for all it looks formidable it was fairly easy getting…
John Knox’s Pulpit (26 Jun 2023)
This feature no longer exists! It was where the pale area is at the food of the crag. I’d gone for a walk up Bishop Hill via Glenvale, and counted myself very lucky not to…
