Always good to see reports on Ben Vrackie.
First time I climbed it years ago I put my rucksack down at the summit and took a mars bar out to munch on. The rucksack was behind me and I was busy looking at the view when I heard a rustling sound. Looked round to see two goats that had removed my sandwiches from the rucksack and were having a good feed at my expense.
Once they had had my lunch they lay down either side of me about 5 yards away and soaked up the sun as we all took in the views.
Sadly, I haven't seen any sign of goats on BV for years now.
