What stunning photos, you must have some camera.

I was walking not far away from here on Friday, the snow was sooooo deep!!

Looking to do this one soon, that certainly wets the appetite.

Since I'm usually driving it's my friendly local - The MacDonald Arms, Balbeggie :lol:
Nearer to the hills the Weem Hotel and the Ben Lawers Hotel do a decent drop of real ale it must be said!

All the best,

Wasn't it just. Took me about 10 minutes to gain 20 metres at one point! But what a day :D
So where were you?

All the best,

not long walked this one - must admit though it looks fantastically better under a coating of snow - hope this winter bring more of the same.

Great picture BTW
