Sunday 3rd July As the sun was shinning this morning and all our guests were staying over for at least another night, we decided to treat ourselves to some gentle (or not so gentle) hill-walking. For those of you not in the know a 'corbett' is a mountain over 2,500ft with a drop of 500ft all round. Nearby Strathconon has several, but we decided to tackle just one, namely "Meallan nan Uan" (Gaelic for little round hills of the lambs). Well it was a sweaty pull up the steep heathery slopes and a little boggy in places, but at last we were rewarded by some wonderful views from the east and west. Strathconon itself looked languid in the warm afternoon sunshine and we watched a group of young stags take shelter under a clump of alders. Near the summit we were treated to a good sighting of a Golden Eagle that took flight as we clambered up the ridge. Several hours later we arrived back at Home Farm rather tired(!!) but well satisfied. Sue has included a few pictures of our adventure
