Lochnagar & The Mounth Plateau (Circuit of 5!)

Since getting serious about hill walking in Scotland back in 2016, Lochnagar has always been one of those ‘must do’ munros with it’s it’s stunning dark beauty steeped in history, myth and folklore.

Thankfully this time it wasn’t quite as challenging or hair raising but nevertheless, my next target in this stunning area was Glen Coe’s highest peaks. Tucked in and looming behind the iconic three sisters […]
