Saturday morning sunrise from Tap O' Noth - a magnificent viewpoint.

Was hoping the sun would light up the north-west Highland peaks but in the end I had to resort to some picture manager jiggery pokery to get them to stand out - just! :D

Nice area for wandering littler hills this - and I'm not at all biased as an Aberdeenshire lassie! :lol:

First hill we climbed in Scotland, still got many great memories from both times we climbed it. Does anyone know if the house next to the car park is abandoned, or does someone live there? It's been the source of many discussions on walks for us.

Love the photos!!
