Carn an Fhidhlier ... June 2005
Carn an Fhidlier - An Sgarsoch

A big day out exploring one of the wildest and most inaccessible parts of the highlands. The hills are never dramtic but the setting and remoteness is.

 


Heading off from Linn of Dee on this beautiful summers morning,
An Sgarsoch & Carn an Fhidlier are the two hills on the horizon.
