“Munro bagging is a sport known to many climbing enthusiasts and they come from all over the World to pursue their hobby. The Munros were first listed by Sir Hugh Munro (1856 – 1919) in his ‘Munros Tables’, published in the Journal of the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) in 1891. Sir Hugh divided the summits into 283 separate mountains (now known as the Munros), whilst 255 further summits over 3000 feet were considered to be only subsidiary ‘Tops’. His list caused quite a stir at the time, as it had previously been thought that there were only around 30 mountains of that height. Buachaill Etive Mór in the Western Highlands is over a 1000m and one of the most attractive peaks in a haunting landscape. This year , snow has been scarce as you can see when I visited the area last month.”
“Pic 2 and Pic 3 were taken last month in Glen Etive , considered by many to be one of the most spectacular glens in Scotland and a great favourite for film makers; it is a much featured location in the Bond franchise. The river Etive forms many pools and waterfalls as it courses towards the sea. Red deer are common – the stag a few weeks back was pictured here and , if you are lucky , patient and knowledgeable, the golden eagle may be spotted.”

“Pic 5 is the Amusement section of Hyde Park in London – big and bloody awful.
Pic 6 is from the Sinn Féin launch earlier this week. One can only hope Michelle Gildernew isn’t suggesting rude words to Mary Lou…”
