Glen Lyon in Autumn - 02/11/2021

Heilan Coos
A pride of heilan coos, perfectly camouflaged by the bracken, carefully watches the herds of tourists and campervanners wandering in dazed gormlessness, waiting for one to stray a little too far from safety...

First Snow of Winter - 21/10/2021 The weather has been incredibly mild and then, all of a sudden, this is what we wake up to. Magnifique!

Moon and Venus - 09/10/2021 After a thoroughly dreech three days the skies cleared and as the sun was setting the moon gradually appeared in the south west, with Venus close at hand.

A Week with Eric and Pat - 12/09/2021

Loch Rannoch - 13/09/2021
Straight down the loch

Rannoch Station - 13/09/2021
We did SLL, but the driver still wasn't happy!

Glen Ogle Viaduct - 15/09/2021
Sadly disused - by the railways!

Rannoch Moor - 16/09/2021
Towards Glen Coe

Meall a'Bhuiridh and Creise

Meall nam Fuaran - 08/09/2021 A glorious day in September - above the clouds - looking into Glen Almond from Meall nam Fuaran - a lost valley, from its terminal moraine - Beinn na Gainimh

Heather - 09/08/2021 Heather in the hills - my kind of lass! Particularly bonny this year, methinks. The hills here are those above Fearnan and Fortingall.

Glen Turret - 02/08/2021 A disused boathouse of interesting design. I am sure that I could make something of that. I wonder... It reminds me of those modernist churches that might be seen across Scandinavia! Unlike most of the dams in this part of Perthshire this is a water-supply reservoir slaking the thirst of the burghers of Crieff, Stirling and Grangemouth.

Loch Creran - 07/07/2021
Taken from the Creagan Bridge on the A828, the deck of which was constructed in 2001 and placed upon the piers of the former railway bridge of the Callander and Oban Railway, built in 1903. Saves you five miles!

Castle Stalker - 07/07/2021 Caisteal Stalcaire, built in the mid 15th century by John Stewart, Lord of Lorn, is seen here from the dismantled railway line at Portnacroish

Animals - 22/06/2021 A trip to the Highland Wildlife Park at Kingussie. Przwalski Horses, European Bison and Scottish Wildcats are just a few of the inhabitants. The Wolverines were coy...

Stone Pillar - 06/06/2021 A mysterious stone pillar on the side of Meall Greigh. A feature on my afternoon stroll to East Mealour, whilst enjoying the views of Loch Tay

Centre of Scotland - 28/05/2021 Dùn Coillich is the hill at the geographic centre of Scotland and right next to Schiehallion, which doesn't look quite so elegant from this angle

Meall Greigh - 24/05/2021
Just for the record, fresh snow at 3,000 feet on the 24th May. A brief glimpse through the interminable rain. I told you it's cold!

Meall Greigh - 07/05/2021
Something brewing behind Meall Greigh

Fresh Snow in May - 05/05/2021
The Glenlyon Hills viewed from the Amulree road

Beinn Laoigh - 14/04/2021 Munro number 86, not that that's the point. It's one I have been itching to do for a long time and deservedly carries the sobriquet The Queen of Scottish Mountains. Also, here is the source of the River Tay; Scotland's longest, Britain's biggest!
