Today was the longest hike we’ve done in years. Kerrera island loop with a few extras. Clan Macdougall castle had spectacular views. It’s an hike with a lot of up and down hills and a rocky road. Visited with Sheep and lambs, bunnies and a goat along the way and even a dog named teddy joined us part way (until he was pooped out).

A birthday hike for Mike. Ballachulish Quarry hike takes you up a steep incline and through beautiful forest trails. Views of the Loch and village were stunning. We will return.

A recent hike up the devils staircase in Glencoe on a chilly winters day. Views did not disappoint! We continued on beyond the cairns for a look at the reservoir. It has been almost 13 years since I did this hike as part of the West Highland Way. It was pouring that day!

Took an Autumn hike up to Sutherland’s Gove today. Stunning views with leaves on the paths. It was just beautiful to see the fall colors and experience no wind which made for exceptional photos of the reservoir.

Although a short hike, there is a 325 foot climb on the most strenous of the 3 available walks at Sutherland’s Grove near Barcaldine. Beautiful waterfalls in the gorge, Douglas fir trees, and lots of great spots for camping or a picnic.

Important to remember about trampling vegetation wherever we walk or hike.

Views from half and then 855 feet up Beinn Lora on the West Coast of Scotland. Quite windy so not very clear photos. We will return and do the full hike on a warmer clearer day. (4 miles; 1050 feet).

This is a great list of all the walks available in Scotland with details on how to break them up. Who’s up for one? We’re looking at the Isle of Bute as a possible option - not as long as many of them.

Recent walkabout in Dunkeld. The Hermitage Trail followed by walks around town and the river Tay. Beautiful woodlands. Highly recommend this area. Plenty of walks and lochs.

It was a foggy May day when we headed out of Stonehaven Harbour to Dunnottar Castle which was located along the bluffs high above the sea. Great hiking trails along the shoreline but obviously visibility was reduced. We plan to return and explore more of this area just outside of Aberdeen.

Bit of an issue today on my trek. Cows were on the path - all of them! I felt outnumbered and it wasn’t looking like they were going to move. So I took a detour back and decided to explore a new trail only to discover a wonderful view of Loch Lomond.

Recent trek around Drymen. Partially walking the West Highland Way and then onto a quiet road back into town. Great views and found future walks.

Beautiful scenery for our 6.5 walk this morning. We’re in Scotland and loving it as always.
