Glen Fyne

It was a fine day today to walk in Glen Fyne

I didn't want to continue along this walk due to the baby highland cattle which were on the road. I later spoke to the farmer who commented, I hadn't walked very far up the Glen and I pointed out that the babies were on the road. She insisted they won't have bothered with me unless I had a dog but I wasn't brave enough to risk it

 

 

It was a shame as it was a glorious day

 

 

But I saw a lovely Wagtail

 

 

I tried to go up the other side of the Glen but met more cattle. I saw lots of Martins flying around the quarry

 

The Johnny Matheson Walk Aucherarder

Johnny Matheson was the local post man and this was his round

There was a magical rainbow over the town

 

This path was sooo muddy in some places

Clackmannan

Yes.... A brilliant walk with a brilliant person Bernie....I took her to Clackmannan

Along a lovely forest walk

We saw spectacular flowers

And came out on to Look Aboot You Road. How can a road be called that?

Cowie to Plean Castle

I left Cowie and set off walking along the Gallamuir Road

The field was covered in geese

Oh No I've forgotten the flowers I learned the names off last year. Have to look out my books. Think its Self Heal?

Plean Castle

Ah...... a lovely lady bird

This castle was a ruin before the owners rebuilt it. Good job done!

When I retraced my steps I was treated to fabulous views

Driving back to Stirling I stopped to take a photo of Stirling Castle with Stuc a' Chroin behind it covered with snow

The miners path to Bannockburn

I parked on Targe Wynd but instead of going under the Rumbling Bridge I turned right at the end of this path

It took me across Pike Road and along the miners path

Its very narrow and feels ancient

A Thrush collecting nesting material. Seems early in the year?

There were so many different birds out and about today

Near Keltie Bridge in Callander

I drove over the Keltie Bridge in Callander and up the road for a mile. There's a good place to park and them continue to walk up the road

These sheep were very curious

They kept coming closer and closer

I watched Red Kites flying overhead and had brilliant views in all directions
