A flock of sheep block a gate.

A massive cairn next to a trig point at the summit of Lammer Law.

Me at the Scald Law trig point.

My deceased boots. They’ve been falling apart ever since the deluge at the Lake District in June, and after the Mamores in September the soles were peeling away. Nearly seven years of service though, can’t say fairer than that, 9/10.

Bit of everything today: a triple hillwalk, a tense stand-off with a flock of sheep and a final farewell to my boots. #LammerLaw #TwinLawCairns #ScaldLaw #Pentlands #MarilynBagging @walkhighlands.co.uk

The view from a sunny descent of King’s Seat, right on the Highland Boundary Fault Line at Dunkeld.

Update: it good. 😎 #KingsSeat #BirnamHill #MarilynBagging #Dunkeld

A morning inversion over Aberdeenshire from the slopes of Morven.

Glenbuchat Castle in Strathdon.

Me on the sunny summit of Morven, behind a trig point, with a huge cairn in the background.

A helicopter. Hope it wasn’t mountain rescue and, if it was, hope they were ok!

Well that was…eventful? (N.B. the helicopter’s not for me.) #Morven #LadyleaHill #CorbettBagging #MarilynBagging @walkhighlands.co.uk
