Climbed Schiehallion yesterday

This was my walk yesterday (http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/perthshire/schiehallion.shtml), we were so lucky with the weather.

We got to the top and it was clear, giving us a wonderful view as far as Glen Coe. We had our lunch and just got finished when the mist started to roll in and we lost the vista, but it was well worth it while it lasted.

Here are some photos.

And here is the start of the path.

The sky was blue for most of the way. The passengers on this plane would have had a wonderful view of the Scottish Highlands. I’ve been told that it is a KLM MD-11 on its way to Toronto.

The view was stunning

Looking towards where we had to walk to the summit

Nasty gully close to the path. It just shows you how careful you need to be when there is no visibility and you can’t see these hazards.

 

Looking over towards Glen Coe

Hope you all enjoyed my walk and am already looking forward to next one.

Update of Apple Trees in Walled Garden of Glamis Castle

This morning I took time out of weeding the herbaceous border to take some photos of the Apple Trees growing on the wall.

I last took photos of the Apple Trees the 30th May so we can now start to see some Apples growing.

This is the Victoria Plums and it looks as if there will be a great crop.

We had a lot of nice visitors again today and its so nice to hear their lovely comments.

As you can see there is going to be a lot of Apples for the Kitchen.

I shall take photos again the end of June to compare.

 

 

 

Our lovely Karen & Chris busy as you can see :)

My Garden in June

Last Month was so cold and to think here we are now in to June and the garden is looking so good.

I have made a lot of changes in the garden and added many new plants. Come and enjoy a stroll with me.
