Arthurs Seat Sunset

Out for a short evening walk and enjoyed a stunning sunset.

Lammer Law

Colin was out on his bike on Sunday. Cycled and pushed up to the top of Lawer Law in the Lammermuir hills and then a cycle round Gifford and a few other villages in the foothills.

Scottish Housing Expo

We had a trip up to Inverness to visit the Scottish Housing Expo and a look at 28 new architect built houses. Max is keen on being an architect so wanted to visit the Expo. Interesting couple of days.

Meall Glas and Sguith Chuil

Colin went out for a spot of munro bagging. Generally good weather. Tackled too hills to the North of the Killin-Crianlarich road. Very tough going with no paths to be seen making it very tough work walking through the long grass and bog.

Spotted a badger between the two hills.

Street Orienteering - South Gyle

Max and Colin went orienteering on a newly mapped area of South Gyle. Different courses but they were the same for the first 7 controls. Max took an early lead through the very confusing streets.

Shopping

Colin took Max (and later Hannah) out shopping. Max bought all the latest fashions.
