A shout out for the social enterprise on Loch Tay, The Crannog Centre. Fantastic, informative, with young people learning ancient crafts like thatching. And they do good coffee too!

A day of 'big weather' in big hills, 3 of the Drummochter munros

Today, looking to the Northern Corries and the other way, to Loch Morlich. High winds are still very present, so winter outdoor kit is still the order of the day.
Wrap up and have fun!

Views to the Cairngorms from Geal Charn Mhor. From this distance the bulk and size of the Gorms is appreciated all the more

Out & about in Dumfries and New Abbey and my first hill of 2024: Criffel, clearly a favourite with locals

A new year and I'm in Dumfries & Galloway for a while, with views across the Solway Firth to the hills of Cumbria. Fantastic for wading birds with many Barnacle Geese spotted yesterday

Snow has arrived!

Autumn turns thoughts of the summer past and planning the year to come. For me, I'm working on taking Hike Highlands in a different direction by focusing on pilgrim walks in Scotland, offering both day walks and multi-day trips.

The new website is under construction, please let me know if this idea appeals to you 😊

I've been fortunate enough to use this ferry many times and it's always been a fabulous experience. If you get the chance, then go!
