I was in Killin today and the snow was lashing down on Ben Lawers. Every year we get people saying the same thing: “I wont need winter gear will I?” Yes you do. April is still winter up in the hills. Maybe you could hire some kit? Craigdon Mountaineering shop in Aberdeen used to hire out such stuff,...

I saw a thing on a Skye facebucket page about this, I’ll let them know.

Nice one. I knew a man who retired to the countryside and lived off the land. He soon realised that roadkill was free meat so he would drive around and gather up any dead beasties. Just how far he took this was shown by his comment; "I wouldn't have badger again..." But maybe it's all in t...

I have often seen eagles in the highlands, so much so that I almost took them for granted. One soared close by when I first started exploring the Cairngorms, I took it as a good omen and so it has worked out. Another displayed for ages one afternoon far north as my brother and I fished a high corrie...

Greetings from Scotland! Try the Eastern Cairngorms, around Braemar, Ballater, and Aviemore. Great scenery, loads of low-level as well as high routes, wildlife and less rainfall than the west.

I used to get harrassed by herds of heifers (young cows as oppossed to steers = young bulls) when I went fishing at a loch in Ayrshire. They would vault fences to get at me, no doubt thinking they were going to be fed. they can be dangerous as they get into a stampede mentality and can't stop, so co...

Still stumped; looks like you've been somewhere unfrequented by other Walkhighlanders!
You may have to tell us...

I think they are next to the Luibeg Burn, looking up towards Sron Riach (the SE ridge of Ben Macdui). I do believe you're right. I knew it rang a bell somewhere, I just haven't been back there for years. This link (3rd picture down) shows what looks like the same steep slope which is behind the fig...
