Re: Keep Walkhighlands free to use Banner

Same problem here on Firefox 27.0.1 on Win 8. I have an exception for WalkHighlands on Adblock Plus.

Re: Fiona Torbet (nee Graham)

I think it was a Willie Docharty from Giffnock in Glasgow who first listed and ascended the all the 2000 footers. I believe he published a small booklet of the hills back in the late 1940s or thereabouts although I have never seen a copy or heard of anyone who has one . Subsequent to Fiona death som...
