Was up there just the other day myself. A nice little walk. Looks like you got clearer weather than me - was pretty hazy when I was there, so didn't get any decent photos.

A nice wee leg stretcher! Lovely pictures too. :D I can’t quite tell whether this is Bracken or not. If so, it must have been one of her last walks. :( She looks quite chipper.

Yes, she took ill on the 29th and was put to sleep the next day. We could have had a transfusion but that would only have given her a few more days and could have caused its own problems.

It has character and views and isn't far off the A96.

Definitely worth including in a visit to the north east. Nothing spectacular, just pleasant with good views.

Me = fair weather walker usually so probably all my reports make Scotland look like some sort of windless, droughted desert.
