Re: Mamores cracker

Top report - and an area I go to each year. But I have to share your opinion about the soup. Baxters is the best you can get right enough but my mum (rightly) sent a complaint when they stopped making a wonderful "Cream of Country Vegetable" and they never even replied let alone send her a...

Loch Ard is a Red Squirrel area.

Re: Where's the picture ? - Scotland (part 2)

Thanks Johnny Corbett for mentioning Sgurr nan Cannichean. I think it is the next hill down the road towards Lochcarron but I don't know the name. I went past on the train from Inverness to Kyles 2 year ago and saw clouds coming over the top and streaming down the face of it and because of its sheer...

Re: Tomtain

I have often wondered what the path up to Tomtain was like and your report has made it plain. I shall probably lead my walking group up it as soon as I can fit the walk in (and perhaps link it up with the paths around Glen Carron forest). Shame you haven't had more hits for the report

Re: Bonnie Prince Charlie - My Part in his Downfall

Hope you have a good time Ciderpete. The only pointers I can recommend are to look out for Ben Nevis - it domintes the skyline for miles around being so appreciably bigger than anything around it (furthest south from which it has been so clearly visible for me is Meall nan Tarmachan at Killin or Ben...

Re: Albino Squirrel

Once saw a whole railway station platform of people (West Malling in Kent, waiting for the London train) entranced by an albino squirrel darting about in a little copse at the opposite side of the tracks. In a way it is sad that they stick out so much in what should be good camouflage for them.I won...

Re: Dumgoyne and a wee bit further

Hello GillC Whenever I go up Dumgoyne, I look for a path that goes back down towards Killearn and try to pick up the bus from there. I wonder if you might have taken part of that path going to Clacharty Knowes. It makes for a good rounbd trip, and the Black Bull or whatever in Killearn is a nicer op...

Re: What wee birds are these?
