| Bertie, Loch Maree, Slioch and the basal Torridonian unconformity |
Here are some other important elements of the perfect weekend in Torridon. (You'll need the sound turned on.)
Listening to the birds singing in the cottage garden:
Noisily anticipating adventures with friends:
Monitoring the crackly wood-burning stove:
Motoring along single track roads with Robbie* on the car radio:
*Listeners to BBC Radio Scotland will be familiar with veteran broadcaster Robbie Shepherd's long running traditional music programme, the essential soundtrack to a Sunday afternoon drive in the Highlands.
We will have to come back and listen on the other computer....silly iPad won't even show the video. We bet they were sure pretty to hear though
ReplyDeleteBertie - After reading thism we've started to sing that old Scots song
ReplyDeleteShow me Airigh 'n Ellean,
below me Loch Moree,
Leave me to my solitude and let me wander free.
Hey Bertie your neck of the woods looks fabulous now. Must be really stunning this time of year. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

Mom let me listen to each of the sounds except for your barking because she knew that would get me going. Maybe later. We do appreciate your adding another of the senses -- hearing -- to the appreciation of the perfect trip!

ReplyDeletePawesome videos, Bertie! You bark almost as much as me :)

Bertie,
ReplyDeleteTorridon looks just lovely, of course there's more to it than the mountains! It looks like you had a splendid time, those birdies and doggies out walking must flock to meet you!
One of my peoples's other sons goes hillwalking quite a lot and he made a calendar of pictures he went to last year. This month is a hill in Torridon, but I can't remember the name, I'll have to check and tell you!
Pippa :)
Ohhh how we love all you adventure in our homeland, and now we get the sounds also, Thanks Bertie. We been missing your post as we were gone for two months, but we are back now. The Birds and fire almost put us to sleep!
