Nothing in the outdoors beats a beautiful view after a long slog up to the top. Sit back and view the stunning vistas of these wonderful spots.


Glen Coe Magic

Written by David Flinn

It was a cloudy day (again) in Scotland.  This time in the town of Callander, a quaint but nice town in the gateway to the Trossachs, the first Scottish national park. The B&B we stayed in was the Crags Inn, but not a climber's place, but the name was right.  Tomorrow was all about Glen Coe.

A Brief Visit of Ben Nevis

Written by David Flinn

Ben Nevis has always been an attraction for me. Years of reading about Hammish McInnes and the other Scottish mountaineers and all their escapades on the crag called Ben. I was nearby, so I had to visit...

A rare day when Ben Nevis clears from the clouds.
From the Malliag Road, Ben Nevis dries out in the sun.
