The first was a wee dog walk down to the Tay at Murthly, very misty and atmospheric. 23/12/18.
A Christmas Eve walk along the banks of the Tay by Dunkeld, a very frosty and cold day.
Telford Bridge Dunkeld, opened in 1809 by Thomas Telford.
Misty trees by Murthly
Frosty train tracks
Boxing day trek around 5 Mile Wood by Stanley.
Post apocalyptic landscape, it was near Stanley after all.
Colourful forest floor.

Long exposure of the River Tay looking over to the Kenmore Bridge and Ben Lawers.
Evening on Loch Tay
Kirkton Glen near Balquidder, Hogmanay. We have walked here before but this time we headed further up the glen to Rob Roy's putting stone and the Loch of the Irishman.
No shortage of Christmas trees.
Getting steeper and the wind was picking up.
Looking back down the glen with Ben Vorlich in the distance.
Lesley and Sitka battling the high winds at the Loch of the Irishman.
Rob Roy's putting stone
Rob Roy's grave, supposedly not the actual grave site.
Norman's Law by Luthrie in Fife, first walk of the new year 04/01/19.
Trig point and view indicator at the top of Norman's Law which is a prominent hill at the very eastern end of the Ochil fault.
Me and Sitka taking in the view
East and West Lomond, otherwise known as the Paps of Fife
Looking over to the Tay Rail Bridge
Looking down the Carse
Hillocks and humps for miles.

The last walk of the holidays was along Tentsmuir Forest Beach, a gloves and hat day but great to be near the coast again.
Lesley and Sitka happy to be out in the fresh air.
Flotsam
Gorgeous pics. I have heard about a nice walk by Murthly but don't know where it is. Can you recommend? Then I feel a treat at Stewart Tower is more justified!
ReplyDeleteHi thank you, there is the big square 5 mile walk that starts from the stone towers across from the Uisge restaurant in Murthly.
ReplyDeleteHappy walking and eating.
