Traquair House: Exploring the House & Grounds
I’ve been visiting Traquair House and grounds since I was a child and always found it a magical place. It had been many years since my last visit and I walked right past it doing the Southern Upland Way earlier this year. I’d vowed to visit again soon.
Most of the video focuses on the history of the house and on a beautiful autumnal 🍂 walk through the grounds.

Dunino Den & Exploring Fife
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.Месяц назад
What better way to spend Halloween 🎃 than visit a den said to have been the place where human sacrifices took place. To be honest, I didn’t find it overly spooky but well worth a visit, just don’t go after dark. 👻 I did however experience a distinct chill in one of the bedrooms in Kellie Castle during a guided tour. We also visit Balbirnie Stone Circle towards the end of the video. Chapters: 00...

Solo Summit Camp: Mayar

I’d wanted to summit camp on a Munro for a long time and it was on my bucket list. Weather conditions were perfect.

Torridon: A Walk To The Tea House Bothy
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
We’d climbed Beinn Damh the day before and a walk around Loch Clair and Loch Coulin extending it to the Tea House Bothy was the plan. After a few days of rain the weather forecast was good for a few days. We were leaving Torridon after our walk and heading for a campsite near Poolewe at Firemore Beach. The circular route around the lochs is below. www.walkhighlands.co.uk/torridon/Lochclair.shtml

After spending the night in The back o’ Bennachie car park we set off to climb the mountain the following day. There was a chilly wind blowing on the summits on the first day of autumn. A truly amazing mountain with Mither Tap stealing the show. www.walkhighlands.co.uk/aberdeenshire/bennachie.shtml
Mount Keen: A First Munro
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 месяца назад
My friend had been keen to do her first Munro for some time. We were in the area and with a reasonable weather forecast we set off to climb Mount Keen (the most easterly Munro). This was a new route for me having climbed the mountain before but from the north via Glen Tanar. Did she manage it and was Mount Keen a good choice for a beginner? www.walkhighlands.co.uk/angus/mount-keen.shtml

    Another enjoyable film Linda. I watched your series on the GGW as you put it up and travelled up in Sep ‘23 to do it and then the Affric Kintail Way this Sept just gone. When I got to Inverness I had a huge whack of anxiety and apprehension. I had the Cicero guide book and OS maps downloaded but I also went back on occasions to see somewhere familiar you had shown us all. I know you stress that these are not meant to be guides but they are very helpful and informative for planning as well as on the trails themselves, so thank you very much for putting these up on RUclips. 👍🏻👍🏻 Great filming and soundtracks.

We paid half price for a small stall selling my wife's homemade 'trolls' and it was cheaper than the entrance fee. I took one of the dogs on a walk around the gardens, but never realised there was a maze. ATB Karl from Denmark
