The section on Lenition here: https://getoutside.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/guides/the-gaelic-origins-of-place-names-in-britain/ explains why!

Re: Calling all side sleepers!!

What about an additional foam mat under your existing mat: I've got one of these that I use under my old thermarest for winter. https://alpkit.com/products/ez-sleeper-folding-foam-sleeping-mat (I think Thermarest do a couple of more expensive/fancier versions) I sleep on my side and find it comforta...

Tilhill.

Unfortunately, (at least based on the original plan from 2019) it is almost exclusively spruce. Native content will be about 6 or 7%. :(

Killilan Estate Office Contact Details (Maol Bhuidhe Bothy)

Hi.

Does anyone have an email address or alternative phone number for the Killilan and Inverinate Estate Office?

I've tried the one on the MBA website but it is ringing out.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Scottish National Trail alternative via Glasgow

https://www.kentigernway.com/page18.html


As well as cutting through Carmichael there's a path that runs from Biggar to Cormiston, via Langlee Farm, that reduces the road walking a wee bit.
