A few weeks ago we completed the Ben Cleuch circular and as we were struggling up brutal The Law we looked across and saw other walkers on the gentle slopes of King's Seat so we added that to our list and here we are. In the picture below you can see the stunning views of the Law as we started our ascent of King's Seat.

It just so happens to be Valentine's Day and what a beautiful day it was to be out on a walk!

Getting deep now!! :shock:

There isn't really much more to say about this walk, I think the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is so true so here they are!

Although it was hard going in places due to the pretty deep snow, especially the final ascent to the summit, where the wind almost cut through to the bones, it was a satisfying way to spend a winters day. 8)
