Birch tree well into autumn in Anagach Woods today. #Cairngorms #Strathspey #autumn Jo

@thesweetcheat One of five sites in this area of #Strathspey in the #Cairngorms thought to be Clava Cairns #StandingStoneSunday

Britain's long-lasting snow patch melts away for 10th time in 300 years

Nicknamed “the Sphinx”, the hardy patch of snow is found on #Braeriach (Scotland’s third-highest mountain at 1,296m) near #Aviemore in the #Cairngorms. Before 2000 it had melted only three times in the last 150 years.

Another photo of this morning's camp in the Cairngorms. #Cairngorms

Evening light, Cairngorms, September 4 #Cairngorms

A day for lots of sitting down and lots of water. It is hot! #Cairngorms

Lost in forest for 40 yrs Gaich Bronze Age burial cairn is very much here in the #Cairngorms .. #TombTuesday. "The cairn with cist adjacent to the large boulder is a most unusual monument" HES. More here https://canmore.org.uk/site/15696/gaich-wood

Sunset over Loch Morlich this evening. #Cairngorms #sunset

The #Cairngorms at their beautiful best this evening

Simple pleasures; making the most of this weekends good weather in the #Cairngorms with a stunning bike ride linking #GlenTromie with #GlenFeshie via the 'high roads'

Beauty filled start to the weekend looking out to #BynackMore in the #Cairngorms

Make memories, not a mess. Go lightweight when wild camping, stay for two or three nights maximum and keep numbers small. #wildcamping #hiking #cairngorms #scotland #LeaveNoTrace

Simple pleasures; rolling along the quiet trails of the #Cairngorms today searching out our ancient monuments

A few photies from our wander over Meall a' Bhuachaille yesterday.

Deishar Wood Chambered Cairn NW of #BoatofGarten in the #Cairngorms. Said to be 'an unusual structure' .. 'an aberrant form'. My take is 'beautifully atmospheric'#TombTuesday. More from Historic Environment Scotland here https://canmore.org.uk/site/15460/deishar-wood

On our way down from Meall a' Bhuachaille this afternoon I spotted the wood ant nests just beside the path. This one was alive!

You'll need to click the photo to see them. Look for the black blobs and then at one end spot the rest of the body and head.

The summit of Tom Mor today. Rainy! #Cairngorms #Strathspey #hillwalking #scottishhighlands #weather

Lochnagar in the cloud yesterday #Cairngorms #Scotland

Blustery, wet and feeling more like the end of September than August today up on Lochnagar. Plenty of young ptarmigan around and even the company of a snow bunting made it worthwhile #Cairngorms #Lochnagar #Ptarmigan #SnowBunting #Scotland

Route diversion in Glen Feshie. For many years since a flood washed away the path crossing of the Allt Garbhlach has meant descending a steep bank, crossing the wide river mouth, and then climbing up an equally steep bank. Now walkers and cyclists are directed along an old path leading to a wonky log bridge much higher up the Allt Garbhlach. Not as exciting but much easier! #glenfeshie #cairngorms
