Carn Crom, eastern Cairngorms?

Loch Sheil?

Greetings and welcome!

The forecast is lousy indeed, with a mix of hail, snow and rain at very low temperatures leading to that kind of wet slush with hailstones in it which is like driving on axle grease with ball-bearings in it.

Probably not. And the forecast looks lousy. I'd leave it til better weather.

Where Robert Bruce fought off an attack by highland mercenaries doing Longshanks' work for him, guided by the Bruce's own hounds which they had nicked from Loch Doon castle. Near Backhill O' Bush bothy, by the Silver Flow (an area of raised bog, a bi...

Greetings. Plenty of old castles, etc. up the west highlands.

Ardchattan Priory, Loch Etive.
