Trail Reviews

Craig
April 17, 2025, Ben Bhraggie and Golspie Burn loop

This walk was not 58 miles long. I forgot to finish walk and drove to Ben hope 😂 I managed to crop this in the end but had to do it on the laptop.

An almost alpine climb from Golspie up to the monument. The view over the sea is magnificent. The descent is easy and uninteresting until the tree line. Then there are "sensations" for the eye. In the forest, then especially along the Golspie Burn down to the main road.
