2 short run/walks on the way back from Edinburgh, squeezed in just before dark. Dumglow was disappointingly misty, so I only got a glimpse of the lochs and crags. Benarty was clearer, with a nice view over Loch Leven in the last light, and some nice tingles of red in the clouds. Any ideas of doing Bishop's hill in the dark were quickly dispelled, and I hit the road home instead. Both nice little hills which would merit more time and better weather. Great way to release the IKEA stress too.
