Short walk up our local wee hill Craigellachie with Moray. It's an easy up and down from Aviemore and was quite busy this morning, but we dropped down the back to the Burma Road and came back via the old road.
There's some new deer fencing appeared in the past year (to help with tree regeneration), but fortunately a couple of gates at strategic points, so no issues with access rights.

A rather idyllic spot for refreshments from an excellent café. Who knows where? #Scotland #summer #NationalNatureReserve

Yesterday the weather was a bit rubbish, but today was glorious. Off to #StCyrus #NationalNatureReserve with the floof, because it's one of her favourite places. And mine. #DogsOfMastodon
