  • The Best of Walking in Scotland
    1 The Best of Walking in Scotland Scotland is a land of contrasts—an ancient country with a modern outlook, where well-loved traditions mingle with the latest technology. Here you can tread on some of the oldest rocks in the world and wander among standing stones and chambered cairns erected 5,000 years ago. However, that little cottage you pass may have a high-speed Internet connection and be home to a jewelry designer or an architect of eco-friendly houses. Certainly, you’ll encounter all the shortbread and tartan you expect, though kilts are normally reserved for weddings and football matches. But far more traditional, although less obviously so, is the warm welcome you’ll receive from the locals. The farther you go from the big cities, the more time people have to talk—you’ll find they have a genuine interest in where you come from and what you do. Scotland’s greatest asset is its clean, green landscapes, where walkers can fill their lungs with pure, fresh air. It may only be a wee (small) country, but it has a variety of walks to rival anywhere in the world. As well as the splendid mountain hikes to be found in the Highlands, there’s an equal extent of Lowland terrain with gentle riverside walks and woodland strolls. The indented coastline and numerous islands mean that there are thousands of miles of shore to explore, while the many low hills offer exquisite views over the countryside. There’s walking to suit all ages and tastes. Some glorious countryside with rolling farmland, lush woods, and grassy hills can be reached within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 013, 1899
    EXCURSIONS AND NOTES. CORRYHABBIE HILL, which was selected for the Club's COBRYHABBIE spring excursion on 1st May last, is fully described HILL. elsewhere, so that the chronicler for the day is ab- solved from all necessity of entering into topographical details. Probably the fact that the hill is little visited and is not very readily accessible led to a comparatively large attendance of members of the Club and friends, the company numbering 50. Pro- ceeding to Dufftown by an early train, the party, by special per- mission of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, drove to Glenfiddich. Lodge, noting on the way, of course, the ruins of Auchindoun Castle. From the lodge to the summit of Corryhabbie is a walk of three miles —"three good miles", as many of the pedestrians remarked as they plodded along the rough bridle-path, which at times was deep in water and at other times thickly covered with snow, and then across the long and comparatively level plateau, rather wet and spongy and coated with soft snow. The summit had hardly been gained, how- ever, when the mist descended and obscured the view; and the party may be said to have seen little except Ben Rinnes and Glenrinnes on the one side and Cook's Cairn on the other. The customary formal meeting was held at the cairn on the summit—Rev. Robert Semple, the Chairman of the Club, presiding. Mr. Copland, deprived of the opportunity of "showing" the mountains enumerated in his list, read (from Dr. Longmuir's " Speyside ") an interesting account of the battle of Glenlivet.

  • Scottish Nature Omnibus Survey August 2019
    Scottish Natural Heritage Scottish Nature Omnibus Survey August 2019 The general public’s perceptions of Scotland’s National Nature Reserves Published: December 2019 People and Places Scottish Natural Heritage Great Glen House Leachkin Road Inverness IV3 8NW For further information please contact [email protected] 1. Introduction The Scottish Nature Omnibus (SNO) is a survey of the adult population in Scotland which now runs on a biennial basis. It was first commissioned by SNH in 2009 to measure the extent to which the general public is engaged with SNH and its work. Seventeen separate waves of research have been undertaken since 2009, each one based on interviews with a representative sample of around 1,000 adults living in Scotland; interviews with a booster sample of around 100 adults from ethnic minority groups are also undertaken in each survey wave to enable us to report separately on this audience. The SNO includes a number of questions about the public’s awareness of and visits to National Nature Reserves (see Appendix). This paper summarises the most recent findings from these questions (August 2019), presenting them alongside the findings from previous waves of research. Please note that between 2009 and 2015 the SNO was undertaken using a face to face interview methodology. In 2017, the survey switched to an on-line interview methodology, with respondents sourced from members of the public who had agreed to be part of a survey panel. While the respondent profile and most question wording remained the same, it should be borne in mind when comparing the 2017 and 2019 findings with data from previous years that there may be differences in behaviour between people responding to a face to face survey and those taking part in an online survey that can impact on results.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 037, 1911
    CLIMBS IN GLEN CLOVA AND GLEN DOLL. BY HOWARD G. DRUMMOND. To discover a district teeming with virgin climbs within a short distance of one's native city is a blessing undreamt of by the mountaineer of to-day, when almost every rock face of comparatively easy access has been at least tested by his brethren of the mountain and the crag. Many on high level tramps from Braemar to Clova must have gazed on the frowning precipices of Craig Bennet and Craig Maud, many must have peered from the shores of Loch Brandy across the sunlit valley into the dark recesses of the Winter Corrie of Driesh, hut none seem to have craved the stern joy of an assault on their steep ramparts. Pos- sibly they lacked time, or had read Mr. Duncan's article •on the Clova Hills (C.C.J, vol. Ill, page 1) and concluded that the climbs afforded by these faces were either mere scrambles or impossible. On New Year's day, 1910, two strangers to the Glen, J. A. Parker and myself (H. Alexander, Jun., the origi- nator of the idea unfortunately having been recalled to Aberdeen) were able to record a climb on the east face of Craig Rennet, and on 2nd January, with J. Bruce Miller, an ascent of the west face of Winter Corrie, Driesh. These expeditions have been recorded by Parker in an article in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal, (vol. xi., page 29). I will therefore, for the benefit of those to whom that paper is not available, give a short acount of Thethese climbsCairngorm, partially extracted with his kin dClub permission from that article, and confine myself more particularly to our adventures of 3rd January, 1911, when we barley escaped defeat in an attack on the north-eastern face of Craig Maud.
