Scotland, Summer 2010

This year we returned to Arran for the purpose of scattering Alan's father's ashes on the Saddle. We rented a cottage by the golf course in Sannox, which made this task a lot easier. Later in the week we climbed Caisteal Abhaill from North Sannox, a wonderful walk that was not too taxing. We also visited the standing stones at Machrie.

The second week we spent in Shieldaig and finally climbed the Mullach an Rathain (the second Munro of Liathach), as well as spending a lot of time fishing and catching up with our friends.
