A distant view of Ben Macdui, said to be home to Scotland's answer to the Sasquatch or Yeti. The legend of the Big Grey Man or Am Fear Liath Mòr dates back to an incident that took place on the mountain in 1891. Read about it here: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/uss

A distant view of Ben Macdui. The image shows a rocky plateau with large rounded grey boulders covering the ground in the foreground. The land dips and then climbs again to a broad mountain top with snow patches in the distance on the right-hand side. There’s a cliff visible on the left and a blue loch in the distance. The scene is in sunlight.

Day out with Moray in my old office yesterday. I've been retired from guiding for 3 years now but it's great to get out and wander in familiar territory over and .

I also do path monitoring: reporting on issues with some of the well used paths on the hill - mostly path widening and erosion - so that repairs can be carried out.

Moray the dog stood on a rock. It's on a rough hillside, looking towards some rounded summits. Sunny, blue sky with some clouds.Some brightly coloured moss in the foreground - reds, oranges, greens - surrounding some small pools of water. In the distance some craggy hillsides.Myself and Moray the dog looking at the camera, sat by a concrete pillar on a bouldery hill top.More rounded hills in the hazy distance.Rough stone steps forming a path up a hillside. There is some erosion to the left, which has been cordoned off by a rope, to prevent access. Moray the dog stood alongside the path looking back at me.

Moray says What has Ben Macdui got that Ben Nevis doesn't have any more? 🤔

Answer: the view indicator on Ben Nevis was destroyed by a lightning strike a couple of weeks ago. So this one is now the highest in the country.

Moray the dog stood on a stone pillar which has a view indicator embedded on the top. On a rocky and gravelly mountain summit, with a summit cairn and concrete triangulation pillar in the background.

Woke up to a weather forecast that didn't inspire us to #hike #BenMacdui today. Looking better tomorrow. Instead we settled for the smaller Meall a' Bhuachaille and its wee neighbour. #hiking #TheHighlands #Cairngorms #vacation #Scotland

The second biggest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Macdui and its neighbour, Cairn Gorm today in the Cairngorms. Munro no. 47 and 48 for me today and my first 4000 ft-ers.
