Yesterday was a bit grim weather wise. I went up Meall Nan Saighdear and Meall Garbh to get a sense of the view. The name Meall Nan Saighdear translate to Hill of the Soldiers, and it is a great place for a lookout. I have taken a video to show how you can see on one side down the Pass of Leny to Callander and along the Carse towards Stirling and then walk a few feet and catch sight of Corriechrombie, Stank, Anie, St Brides Chapel and the routes running along both banks of Loch Lubnaig. I have tried to mark up that view on the map. Um…it’s not an easy walk. There is no obvious path in places. Parts are on all fours. Just a warning. I also saw my first spawn of the season.

Shuna Mayes lives in Dunblane, Scotland well within hiking, biking or kayaking distance of every locale where a Stewart of Balquhidder once lived. She enjoys getting outside with her camera and capturing sights that we would never have access to without her generosity and enthusiasm. Shuna has traced her ancestry to an 18th century soldier named James Stewart, who is genetically linked to our clan, but remains frustratingly elusive in his exact relationship.
