Ben Lawers and Lochan nan Cat, shortly before getting an absolutely drenching on the first of the seven Lawers range munros. 

Cheers for that. Got me checking the last time I was up there - 2005. 
A pano from 2005.
Been on An Stuc in winter conditions, only had an axe at the time, went out and bought crampons the following week 🙈

The first time I did An Stuc it was in the other direction - I think it was about my 12th munro. I missed the "path" and went down the face. f**k knows how I didn't die - was hanging onto clumps of heather and all sorts. I was a nervous wreck at the bottom. Going up is definitely preferable, though perhaps not for my pal who was trying to hold onto an over-eager spaniel as well as walking poles in the pishing rain 😂

The Tour of Britain was down our way on Monday. The Movistar team were involved in a huge pileup a couple of miles back so the guy in the second pic has a braw wound on his leg.image.thumb.jpeg.401ddddba358e93d6afede4716a11ca3.jpeg

That's the scene on any pavement in Edinburgh...

Thank you, folks!

Got a Highly Commended in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year 2022 as well as overall winner in the Urban category. The winning images will be displayed in Bonnie & Wild in the new St James Quarter in Edinburgh (aka The Turd 😉). The 2021 images are still up there and on the website. There's usually a book produced too.

First time I've entered this. Had to enter up to 7 images and they choose the best 3. I've probably put these up before in this thread but anyway...

Well done. I got into their e-book a couple of times years back but have been far too lazy to bother the last few years 😂

Great stuff Tam. I was there years ago and the blacksmith was called Jamie but he must be gone now. Quite fancy going back especially as this guy has some decent tats. Did he have a bit of patience? Because Jamie didn’t really 😄

ETA- wish I’d thought of this as there was nae fiba to go to…

The lad wasn't bad- he said he was looking forward to a pint after the Open Day was finished!
