A Hidden Beach on The Isle of Skye
A Hidden Beach on The Isle of Skye
A final adventure on The Isle of Skye, and we all headed to the beach. Around three kilometers from the road end, we all trekked into this secluded and hidden beach (hidden from view - not a hidden secret ! The full car park indicated a busy place and a google search finds this beach !) . The beach hides itself until the very last turn in the path and what a gem! Turquoise waters and white sands made all the effort in reaching the beach worthwhile. A stunning location on a Scottish Island where beaches usually come second to the mountains...

Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis via the CMD arête
This route is one of the classic and most popular scrambles in the Scottish Highlands, traversing the highest and ninth highest mountains in the country via the spectacular CMD arête. This video takes viewers on a virtual tour of the route filmed on a GoPro in autumnal conditions, highlighting the terrain encountered and points of geological interest. Comprising Route 13 in Exploring the Nevis Range and Mamores, the complete guide to hillwalking in this area, this route is the finest way to summit the highest mountain in Scotland for a competent hillwalker/scrambler, tagging on a second Munro on the way. The route described here starts and finishes at the North Face car park near Torlundy rather than the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre car park, avoiding an unnecessary descent into the glen of the Allt a' Mhuillinn from Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe on the way up and making for a slightly easier day.
The igneous and metamorphic rocks in this area represent the eroded core of a former mountain range of Himalayan proportions called the Caledonian Orogeny. This mountain range formed over 400 million years ago as a result of collision between the Laurentia continent (comprising much of the USA, Canada, Greenland, Scotland and northern Ireland), the Baltica continent (comprising Scandinavia and much of central-eastern Europe), and the Avalonia microcontinent (comprising, England, Wales, southern Ireland and the eastern seaboard of the USA). At the end of this time, Ben Nevis represented at active volcano and other volcanoes were active around Glencoe and elsewhere in the country.
Much of Scotland's current landscape, however, has been shaped by ice over the past few hundred thousand years. Enormous glaciers carved out the narrow rocky arêtes, U-shaped valleys, and removed half of Ben Nevis, forming its spectacular north face. These features are popular with hikers, scramblers, as well as rock and ice climbers today, making Fort William one of the most popular destinations for the mountain enthusiast in Scotland and rightly justifying the area as the self-acclaimed outdoor capital of the UK.
This video and accompanying book aim to visually describe the route, to allow hikers an opportunity to identify if this route is suitable for their level of fitness, experience and ability. Although scrambling along the CMD arête is fairly easy for an experienced scrambler in good weather, it is exposed in places and may be unnerving for those who suffer from vertigo. It should be noted that the crossing of the arête should not be attempted during high winds, when it becomes very dangerous, and should only be attempted by experienced winter hikers equipped with crampons, ice axes and the knowledge of how to use them under winter conditions. During and after heavy rainfall, crossing of the Allt a' Mhuillinn burn may only be possible upstream near the CIC Hut, therefore extra time should be allowed for the descent in these conditions.

Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its good by to care
Laughter o love and a welcoming there
Isle of my heart my own land
Tell me a tale of the Orient gay
Tell me of riches that come from Cathay
Ah but it's grand to be waken at day
And find oneself nearer to Islay
And it's westering home with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of my heart my own love
Where are the folks like the folks of the west
Canty and couthy and kindly, our best
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At home with my own folks in Islay
And it's westering home with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of my heart my own love
Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
I'll hop a good ship and be on my way
And bring back my fortune to Islay
And it's westering home with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of my heart my own love

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Scotland (Scots: Scotland, Scottish Gaelic: Alba [ˈal̪ˠapə] (listen)) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and covers the northern third of the island of Great Britain. It shares a border with England to the south, and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the south-west. In addition to the mainland, the country has more than 790 islands, including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.
The Kingdom of Scotland emerged as an independent sovereign state in the Early Middle Ages and continued to exist until 1707. By inheritance in 1603, James VI, King of Scots, became King of England and King of Ireland, thus forming a personal union of the three kingdoms. Scotland subsequently entered into a political union with the Kingdom of England on 1 May 1707 to create the new Kingdom of Great Britain. The union also created a new Parliament of Great Britain, which succeeded both the Parliament of Scotland and the Parliament of England. In 1801, Great Britain itself entered into a political union with the Kingdom of Ireland to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 the Irish Free State seceded from the United Kingdom, leading to the latter being renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.Within Scotland, the monarchy of the United Kingdom has continued to use a variety of styles, titles and other royal symbols of statehood specific to the pre-union Kingdom of Scotland. The legal system within Scotland has also remained separate from those of England and Wales and Northern Ireland; Scotland constitutes a distinct jurisdiction in both public and private law. The continued existence of legal, educational, religious and other institutions distinct from those in the remainder of the UK have all contributed to the continuation of Scottish culture and national identity since the 1707 union with England.In 1997, a Scottish Parliament was re-established, in the form of a devolved unicameral legislature comprising 129 members, having authority over many areas of domestic policy. The head of the Scottish Government is the First Minister of Scotland, who is supported by the Deputy First Minister of Scotland. Scotland is represented in the United Kingdom Parliament by 59 MPs and in the European Parliament by 6 MEPs. Scotland is also a member of the British–Irish Council, and sends five members of the Scottish Parliament to the British–Irish Parliamentary Assembly.Scotland is divided into 32 subdivisions, known as local authorities, or councils. Glasgow City is the largest subdivision in Scotland in terms of population, with Highland being the largest in terms of area. Limited self-governing power, covering matters such as education, social services and roads and transportation, is devolved from the Scottish Government to each subdivision.
341. Westering Home (Hugh S. Roberton)
This Scottish song was written by Hugh S. Roberton (1874 - 1952). The tune is partly based on Bonny Strathyre, though it seems to be very similar to the well-known jig, The Mucking of Geordie's Byre.
cantie = cheerful
coothie = pleasant
