Yesterday's walk again. Coming down off the top of Pannanich hill, the mist had gone and the sun was out. Can you see both herds of deer? On the skyline, the MacKenzie Prop, a cairn erected by the MacKenzie family in honour of their son's 21st birthday - it overlooks their former family home, Glen Muick house, and affords great views of Ballater.
Wow fancy having a cairn built in honour of your 21st...thatâs very cool!
The sun on the snow is very pretty, looks a different world to yesterdayâs shot!
@judithg Yes, they come down lower in winter and scrape through the grass to get snow. When I was young and lived in Braemar, we regularly had herds of deer in the village at night coming down to forage in gardens when the snow was too deep on the hills. We don't seem to get winters like that any more. Probably just as well!
An amazing look at your mountains. I'm always amazed at the lack of trees, but I know they must be taller than ours here - probably more like the Rockies where some are taller than the tree line.
@randystreat Our mountains are very inhospitable to trees. Our tree-line is about 1600 feet! Apparently due to a strong maritime influence, cooling our summers and restricting tree growth. I'm no expert though!

Congratulations on your TT success
