In Gaelic it's Beinn a' Bhreacaidh meaning The Mountain of the Speckles or of the Rough Side. You need the "a" definite article. If it was just Speckled Mountian it would be Beinn Bhreac. So although the "y" is an Anglicised (or maybe even Cumbricised/Cymrucised) form of the Gael...

I thought the OP was perfectly reasonable. They weren't asking for secret spots, they were asking about land use in a specific spot they had identified. FWIW I haven't been through for about 10 years but this was a regular DofE route I used to lead. From memories Lettoch to Lyngarrie was working far...

The 4 Monadhliath hills should be OK either as a single long day or two shorter days. From memory there is one river crossing supported by a bridge and the rest should be reasonably dry. The three above Newtonmore are some of the boggiest munros going to the point people have had to lay planks alon...

I don't think you will do much better than the advice given to do the Drumochter hills but if you can't face them twice in quick succession then Ben Vorlich and Stùc a' Chròin would give a reasonably short and easy day. The traverse from Stùc a' Chròin back to the main path can be boggy but will hav...

Literally almost every hill, river and church in the country with dozens of books written on the subject. What are you studying as that might help people help you. Highland Folkways by IF Grant would give you lots of stories of ritual around Samhain and also New Year but if you are looking for anyth...

If you are saying you are not a good hiker I'm not sure how feasible this is as a day and back from a place with accommodation if you can't source a lift. If it was me I'd stay in Tyndrum and head along the WHW and then up Glen Kinglass. That would be a 40km there and back with roughly 1000m of asce...

Weird that the thread title wasn't about killing eagles.

Its always whinging that some area of the country isn't kept in a condition just for them.

Agree with all those points! The Heading for the Scottish Hills website has contact info for every estate that provides info. Also it contains helpful notes, eg where a particular route (usually the main path up the hill) is OK on all days. I’ve always found all the estates, except one that’s not i...

If the views you are looking for from the Cuillin are the bogs and plantations of Minginish then sorry for your loss.

Best practice would be to contact them and explain your intended route on your intwnded day. Best practice from them would be to say that's no bother or suggest an alternative route you might enjoy. You aren't asking permission as such but checking out that you won't be in each others way. You won't...

I've had plantar fasciitis a couple of times, which is incredibly annoying as usually once you're loose there's no pain, then it strikes after the exercise. Podiatrist reckons footwear is the major issue, the COVID years have meant trips to the office are rare and wearing casual footwear, which was...

After 6pm you are having chips.

Its only 90mins, I'd be tempted to hang on until Aviemore.

There's the motogrill at Ballinluig which would do a job if you aren't looking for fine dining.

The pricing structure is deliberate, the rail companies do the same. If you buy the cheaper ticket and jump off early they are happy. The records from ticket sales then show that the small stops are not used. Then the operator can say there is no demand, and close the stop/station and benefit from ...
