  • 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.

    MORE SUMMER DAYS ON THE MOUNTAINS.—II. BY WILLIAM BARCLAY, L.D.S. III.—BEINN CREACHAN, BEINN ACHALLADER, BEINN A CHUIRN, BEN VANNOCH. BY nine o'clock next morning (21st June, 1921) we were at the east end of Loch Lyon ; and, standing among the straggling pine-trees at Invermearn, this upper Glen Lyon greatly fascinated us, the loneliness, the absolute stillness, the air of solitude and remoteness being very refreshing. On all sides rose steeply sloping hillsides, grass-covered to their summits, and, though we say it perhaps somewhat selfishly, we were glad that the road ended here and that there was no thoroughfare to the west, glad that there are still some spots left undisturbed to the pedestrian. On the way up the glen we were particularly struck with the fine profile of An Grianan (2,500 feet) above Cashlie (this old farmhouse is now being converted into a shooting lodge) on the one hand, and Meall Ghaordie (3,407 feet) and Creag Laoghain (2,663 feet) on the other, while from Invermearn Beinn Heasgarnich (3,530 feet) rose directly opposite in two long ridges, enclosing in their upper fold the fine north- facing corrie. Our thoughts, however, are not of Heasgarnich to-day, though sixteen years have elapsed since we wandered about its broad summit, but of some Theview-poin Cairngormt from which we can look out oveClubr the wild and dreary moor of Rannoch to the towering mountains of the north and west. At the head of Glen Mearn and only a couple of miles away stands Beinn Creachan (3,540 feet) (pro- nounced Ben a Chrachan) visible from base to summit, one small patch of snow still lingering among the rocks More Summer Days on the Mountains.

  • The Seventh Argyll Bird Report
    THE SEVENTH ARGYLL BIRD REPORT PUBLISHED BY THE ARGYLL BIRD CLUB 1991 Argyll Bird Club The Argyll Bird Club was formed in 1985 and aims to play an active role in the promotion of ornitholo and conservation within Argyll, in the District of Argyll and Bute, in Stra%clyde Region. The club has steadily built up its membership to the present level of around 170. One da Jon meeting is held in the spring and another in the autumn, these inch8% e tal s, scientific papersand field trips. Conferences on selected topics are also organised occasionally. In 1986 the club held its first conference, a successful meeting between foresters and biid conser- vationists. This was followed in 1987 with a two-day conference in Oban on fish farming and the environment. The club has close contacts with other conseKvation groups both locally and nationally, Zncluding the British Trustfor Orqitholofy, the Royal Societ for the Protection of Birds. Scottish Ornithologists’- C ub and the Scottisl Naturalists’ Trust.

  • WESTER ROSS Wester Ross Ross Wester 212 © Lonelyplanet Walk Tooneofscotland’Sfinestcorries, Coire Mhicfhearchair
    © Lonely Planet 212 Wester Ross Wester Ross is heaven for hillwalkers: a remote and starkly beautiful part of the High- lands with lonely glens and lochs, an intricate coastline of rocky headlands and white-sand beaches, and some of the finest mountains in Scotland. If you are lucky with the weather, the clear air will provide rich colours and great views from the ridges and summits. In poor conditions the remoteness of the area makes walking a much more serious proposition. Whatever the weather, the walking can be difficult, so this is no place to begin learning mountain techniques. But if you are fit and well equipped, Wester Ross will be immensely rewarding – and addictive. The walks described here offer a tantalising taste of the area’s delights and challenges. An Teallach’s pinnacle-encrusted ridge is one of Scotland’s finest ridge walks, spiced with some scrambling. Proving that there’s much more to walking in Scotland than merely jumping out of the car (or bus) and charging up the nearest mountain, Beinn Dearg Mhór, in the heart of the Great Wilderness, makes an ideal weekend outing. This Great Wilderness – great by Scottish standards at least – is big enough to guarantee peace, even solitude, during a superb two-day traverse through glens cradling beautiful lochs. Slioch, a magnificent peak overlooking Loch Maree, offers a comparatively straightforward, immensely scenic ascent. In the renowned Torridon area, Beinn Alligin provides an exciting introduction to its consider- WESTER ROSS able challenges, epitomised in the awesome traverse of Liathach, a match for An Teallach in every way.

    CITATION BEN LUI SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Argyll and Bute, Stirling Site code: 188 PLANNING AUTHORITY: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority Argyll and Bute Council NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NN 260268 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 50, 56 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 364, 377 AREA: 2928.26 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Geological: Structural and metamorphic geology: Dalradian Mineralogy: Mineralogy of Scotland Biological: Upland habitats: Upland assemblage Vascular plants: Vascular plant assemblage Invertebrates: Invertebrate assemblage DESCRIPTION Ben Lui Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is an extensive site situated in the Southern Highlands at the head of Glen Fyne. The SSSI contains four high peaks, with Ben Lui, at 1,130 m, the best known mountain within this western outlier of the Breadalbane Hills. Together with Ben Oss (1,028 m), Beinn Dubhchraig (978 m), Beinn a’ Chleibh (917 m) and Meall nan Tighearn (739 m) the area is renowned for its exceptionally rich and varied upland flora. The range of altitude and geology present at the site supports a diversity of habitats including important late snowbed communities on peaks and high corries, ledge and cliff vegetation, heath, montane willow scrub, grasslands, soligenous mires and on, the southern flanks of Meall nan Tighearn, an extensive blanket bog. The Dalradian rocks underpinning the biodiversity of the site are of mineralogical importance for three reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few sites in within the Dalradian where proximal-style exhalative sulphide mineralisation can be readily demonstrated. Secondly, it is the only site where a feeder zone for stratabound mineralisation has been positively identified.
