We arrive at a fog-covered loch. In the distance are
beautiful conical hills covered in grass. In a way, it feels like we’ve walked
into Teletubby land. We find a lay-by and venture out. There’s the odd
marsh with long brown grass and since it’s so wet you can mistake the road for
a river from a distance. The waters are still and move only with the wind. Once
you climb up and gain some height, you can see a waterfall flowing through the
glen. At the top of one of the hills is a stone ruin of a castle. It’s a bit of
a scramble to get there and the path on the ridge is very narrow, but it’s worth
doing. There’s also a stone circle laid out in a spiral which cumulates into a
small pile of muddy rocks. It’s all very mystical and eerie. Currently there’s
no set path, but they may have to build one soon to preserve the area.
