Due to present restrictions my options for a hike were somewhat limited. Alistair and I had previously talked about doing the tallest peak on each of the major Scottish islands at some point, so I thought perhaps doing the tallest peak in my local council would be a reasonable enough choice.

That meant heading to Corse Hill, which now resides within Whitelee Windfarm - the largest onshore wind farm in the UK.

It's a fairly straightforward walk, with not much in the way of ascent, so certainly a good choice if you're after an easier option.
