In the 16th Century a small off shoot of Clann na Cait or Clan Chattan called Clann Mac a' Combie settled in the Gleann Shith ,which to my knowledge has never had any other name, and until the old tongue was expelled , these MacThomais inhabitants were known as Sithichean a ' Ghlinnshith . The people thrived for hundreds of years and their gathering place can still be identified at Clach na Coileach where the young cock was released from the creel by Mac Combie Mor
I have mostly avoided the hills in Glean Shith for the ski development and always thought they would be a waste of a good day ,necessary , if I wanted to complete this Munro list and preferably done in Winter.
But I m no a man for impulse and decided to do them on Saturday ......................
I was pleasantly surprised
There is no need for a guide here ,however we had no a bad day weather wise and I did notice for the first time since May that wee nip in the wind .... chi mi Ghearraidh !
Am Fhrasaich beag comhla ris gaoith fuar .... the odd shower and cold wind Winter is no far away !
Not the most taxing of journeys and surprisingly few folk around for i'd imagine this a busy hill usually
So the moral of the tale is
"An uair a chluinneas tu sgeul gun dreach na creid I."
