Marching on up Glen Feshie with a mission to reach the distant Munro peaks of Monadh Mor and Ben Bhrotain πŸ’š. Retracing our steps down through the heather clad hills and the Scot’s pine and birch forest below, via the Mullach Clach A Bhlair Waterfalls, was the perfect end to a wonderful day out on the hills last week 😍
