Sheriffmuir to Dunblane plus Capercaillie in the evening in Glasgow

I was feeling really agitated  in the house with my eye becoming foggier and foggier as the cataract grew. It was in the very centre of my right eye. My left eye is very lazy and I have limited vision in it hence the difficulty doing anything around the house.

Pete kindly took me to Sherrifmuir above Dunblane so I could have a long walk home

 

Its such an amazing walk. I've walked along part of it but never all the way home

 

 

I could just about make out the Sheriffmuir Inn in in the distance. This was where I had my celebration for my last walk of the year in 2013 when I had a different walk every day.

 

 

I passed The MacRae Monument from the Battle of Sheriffmuir

 

 

I have never see so many butterflies on a walk as I did today. I lost count there were so many

 

 

This cat was sitting so close to the road side I thought it would get run over. It didn't budge when the cars went past.

 

 

I was sad when the walk was finished. It was 4 miles but I had Capercaillie to look forward too in the evening at the Kelvingrove Amphitheatre. I used to go there when I was a teenager on a Sunday afternoon to watch the free bands

I was delighted to be able to show this wonderful walk in Airth which I discovered in my walks last year. This is the Mercat Cross erected in the 1790's. Its got a sundial on top

 

Some of the hill tops were lit up with snow

 

 

This is the original Mercat Cross. Its called the Headless Cross

 

 

Airth Castle

The walk took us down to the Forth

 

 

We parked at the Wilderness

 

 

We headed off for tea to the Coffee Bothy and were luck enough to see hares
