View from top - two bumps at the top.  The one you see is lower.

It's a hill of course. A little one. "1 hour up. 1 hour down."  That's what the man in the info centre said. That's about right ... 1 hour up with stops to photograph stuff and to make a phone call to Mr B when my phone pinged to say it was connected to something. (Foolish man wants reassurance I haven't thrown myself off a mountain and had left numerous call messages.)  

And 40 minutes down.  

Of course down is going to be faster.

Loch Katrine from the very top.

Loch Achay

Loch Katrine (a reservoir for Glasgow)

The objective (note the enormous stone steps in the path ahead. Scots who build paths must have giants for clients.)

There is a lot of water flowing off the countryside and much of it is peaty brown.

The photos loaded in reverse order.  You could just imagine I turned around a lot on the way down.

BTW this was early morning. The rest of the day was a scorcher.
