Corgarff Castle, in a wild and lonely setting at the head of Strathdon, on the flank of the Cairngorms and guarding the quickest route from Deeside to Speyside. The castle was built in about 1550 and has an outer wall added in 1748. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/strathdon/corgarffcastle/index.html

Picture taken down the valley, garage roof in foreground. Above the junction of two mountains to the centre, a weird stack of clouds has formed. Three very smooth short ovals packed close together vertically. Possibly the pattern is repeating in some additional larger clouds above.

We recently enjoyed re-visiting our #Bellabeg - #ColquhonnieCastle - #PoldullieBridge route and have updated the guidance. Due to a badly overgrown section, a minor change has been made to the route which makes it a little longer than before … 😀
