Moray the dog wearing his panniers, sat next to a small cairn on a hillside, the vegetation is short. More gentle hills into the distance.

Another of our favourite local walks with Moray today. Through Craigellachie (the National Nature Reserve), up to Craigellachie (the hill), then down to the Burma Road and back via the old old A9 Perth to Inverness road.

Looking down from a heathery and rocky hilltop, at a town in the valley, more hills beyond. Blue sky with wispy clouds. Moray the dog is stood on a rocky slab at the front.
A lochan between heathery hills, some grasses growing in the water. A fence running alongside then dipping into the water. Moray the dog sat looking at the lochan. Blue sky and blue lochan.
An old road heading into the distance, grass growing over it, but a cats-eye in the foreground. Trees on both sides. Moray the dog stood looking back at me.

A black and white world for today's #StandingStoneSunday.

Aviemore 'Clava' cairn; the remains of a kerbed cairn (which likely had a central mound and chamber), surrounded by a free-standing stone circle. It's in a neat little suburban setting now, with glimpses of the Cairngorm mountains beyond.

This visit March 2011.

Pretty bad on the A9 headed south going up Drumochter - we sat queued in falling snow for about thirty mins before turning our little car around for fear it wouldn't have snow clearance if we waited much longer. Traffic sitting on the road for miles, back past Dalwhinnie. Forty minutes later, the season's most hard-earned gingerbread latte. Stay safe out there folks!

3) Video driving North towards Aviemore - a bit further up the road but still a queue of traffic on slush/snowy roads
2) Video driving North towards Aviemore - a long queue of traffic sat on a snow-covered road with snow all round.
1) Video sat waiting in a car heading up Drumochter pass. The road is covered in snow, and getting quite high in between the wheel tracks. Snow is still falling and building.

Beautiful Boxing Day walk from Aviemore to Boat of Garten and back. 13.5 miles in the snow has certainly blown away the cobwebs!

A snowy photo of a path through some very tall pine trees. All the branches are coated in snow, but they have shielded little areas of the forest floor which pokes through. The sky is a cold blue.
A view along a snowy rural railway line. It is nearing sunset and the moon is visible above the tracks.
A view down a snowy track with small coniferous trees on both sides, looking towards snow-covered hills. The sky is a cold blue behind.

A suburban setting for today's #StandingStoneSunday offering;

Aviemore cairn and stone circle in the Scottish Highlands. A monument of the 'Clava' type, a kerb of stones enclosing a (now gone) burial cairn, with a surrounding stone circle. It's in a little suburban street now, but has views towards the Cairngorms.

This visit October 2010.

Britain's long-lasting snow patch melts away for 10th time in 300 years

Nicknamed “the Sphinx”, the hardy patch of snow is found on #Braeriach (Scotland’s third-highest mountain at 1,296m) near #Aviemore in the #Cairngorms. Before 2000 it had melted only three times in the last 150 years.
