Date with the Duke

A mixed walk with a vague goal to see see snowdrops and the statue of the Duke atop Ben Bragghie.

By now my muscles have recovered from this walk, but at the time I was not sure I was going to meet the duke in person.

Looking down the way to the sight of Golspie by the sea.

By the time we reached the top, the wind was blowing so hard that we had to hunker down to keep from being bowled over. Only Cynthia was brave enough to go all the way to the enclosure around the statue. I was content to capture a scenic silhouette shot and retreat to the shelter of a lean to at the top of the hill.
