You had great weather yesterday for a wee stroll in the Highlands and must have been able to see for miles. Out of interest, did you know that in1745 the Camerons took the route from Achnacarry through Glen Mallie to Glenfinnan to meet up with Bonnie Prince Charlie?
Went for the frontal assault from Strathan albeit that I got up the glen by bike to the foot of the hill. then the hard work starts! As you say, it was fantastic weather and I could see probably 40-50 miles in every direction - beyond Glendessary, Ben Cruachan and way north east but had trouble working out what I was looking at. Interesting note about the Camerons route. One I'd like to follow one of these years.
