So after breakfast and goodbyes to friends in Aviemore, I hit the foggy roads an cut across the country for Glencoe. The road from Newtonmore to Fort William is absolutely stunning. White capped hills glistened against […]

Day 4 of Scottish Season 15/16. The annual trip to Aviemore was the plan for this weekend and I decided since the conditions looked borderline I’d take the long route via Glencoe rather than the A9.
