3. Glamis Castle Glamis
Glamis Castle is situated beside the village of Glamis in Angus, Scotland. It is the home of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and is open to the public. Glamis Castle has been the home of the Lyon family since the 14th century, though the present building dates largely from the 17th century. Glamis was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, wife of King George VI. Their second daughter, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, was born there. The castle is protected as a category A listed building, and the grounds are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.

4. Cairngorm Reindeer Centre Glenmore
The Cairngorms are a mountain range in the eastern Highlands of Scotland closely associated with the mountain of the Cairn Gorm. The Cairngorms became part of Scotland's second national park on 1 September 2003. Although the Cairngorms give their name to, and are at the heart of, the Cairngorms National Park, they only form one part of the national park, alongside other hill ranges such as the Angus Glens and the Monadhliath, and lower areas like Strathspey. The Cairngorms consists of high plateaux at about 1000–1200 m above sea level, above which domed summits rise to around 1300 m. Many of the summits have tors, free-standing rock outcrops that stand on top of the boulder-strewn landscape. The edges of the plateaux are in places steep cliffs of granite and they are excellent for skiing...

5. Blair Castle and Hercules Gardens Blair Atholl
Blair Atholl is a village in Perthshire, Scotland, built about the confluence of the Rivers Tilt and Garry in one of the few areas of flat land in the midst of the Grampian Mountains. The Gaelic place-name Blair, from blàr, 'field, plain', refers to this location. Atholl, which mean 'new Ireland', from the archaic Ath Fhodla is the name of the surrounding district. On 13 March 2008, it was announced that Blair Atholl would be included in the Cairngorms National Park. This change was made at the request of the people of the town. The town is bypassed by the A9 and has a railway station on the Highland Main Line. The main road north from Perth to Inverness ran through the village until it was bypassed in 1984.

Tigh Na Ruaich Stone Circle Ballinluig in the Scottish Highlands

This obscure stone circle is on nursery located on private property and is easily accessed off the A-9. The area was overgrown with tall grass but the stones are clearly discernible. This is not a large stone circle. It appears to be seldom visited and off the beaten path.

The Backroads of Northern Wales

We stayed overnight at the Gwrch Ynys Country House in nearby Harlech. This magnificent old farmhouse is set on an acre of lawned gardens. The owner of the inn offered to give us an insiders tour of coastal Harlech and its backroads that have been used for thousands of years.

A Short Trip to Northern Wales

Wen't for a short trip to Northern Wales to do some hiking and climbing with my finnish friends.

Shoot entirely with iPhone 5, sadly it ran out of storage just when we hit the start on the Welsh classic climbing route, Amphitheatre Buttress. Had fun anyways!

Die Megalithanlagen Clava Cairns - Balnuaran of Clava bei Inverness, Schottland

Clava Cairns sind eine lokal begrenzte Form endneolithischer Megalithanlagen in Schottland. Zwölf von diesen nur etwa 50 artifiziellen Rundhügel liegen in der Grafschaft Inverness-shire. Die bekanntesten und namengebenden sind die drei nicht besonders großen Balnuaran of Clava, östlich von Inverness. Ein verirrtes Phänomen stellt der Cairn von Carmahome auf der Isle of Arran dar.

Innerhalb eines Kreises aus megalithischen Randsteinen wurde der Hügel aus Schotter aufgeführt, der an den Grundriss späterer Breochs erinnert. Im Inneren befindet sich die mittels Megalithen gebildete runde Kammer, zu der ein gefasster Gang führt. Regelmäßig sind Clava Cairns von einem äußeren Steinkreis umgeben, der den Cairn in 10–15 Metern Abstand umgibt. Die in der Höhe abgestuften Steine dieses aus relativ wenigen Steinen gebildeten Kreises haben ihre größte Höhe gegenüber dem Zugang zum Cairn, der nach Südwesten zeigt. Diese Merkmale erscheinen auch bei den bronzezeitlichen Ring Cairns, die im gleichen Gebiet vorkommen. Daher wird angenommen, dass die strukturelle Ähnlichkeit auf eine zeitnahe Entstehung verweist. Ein weiterer Kontext besteht mit den Steinkreisen am River Dee, die ebenfalls in der Höhe abgestuft sind.

Die Steinhügel der Balnuaran of Clava sind flach und die Gänge daher, anders als beim Corrimony Cairn, ungedeckt. Corrimony ist ein gut erhaltenes Exemplar, in einem Kreis aus elf Menhiren, der bei Cannich einige km westlich des Loch Ness liegt. Hier findet sich auch ein Stein mit Cup-and-Ring-Markierungen. Einige der Steine auf dem Gelände bei Clava in Lagmore West und beim Cairn von Gask sind ebenfalls mit Schälchen versehen. Avielochan, 17 km nordöstlich von Grantown-on-Spey (Morayshire) und Cairn Irenan, sieben Kilometer nordnordwestlich von Dingwall (Ross-shire) sind wegen des Bewuchses schlecht erkennbare Exemplare des Clava-Typs.
