Which is just a wee hop & a skip to Crieff ;) and the Glenturret Distillery (famous Grouse experience) good for a Dram or several. Failing that you could always take some piccys. :)

The Edradour Distillery (Pitlochry) is far more picturesque & turns out a rather pleasant Whisky. In fact there's quite a few Distilleries that are pleasing to the eye, not to mention the taste buds. :)

Today in Pictures, why are the uphill bits always a bit steep.

1.My car is down there by the road, and I'm up here trying to breath.
2. Spoil piles from the quarry days, I've just spoilt something myself, its the altitude.
3. Its a hut, or what's left of a hut.
4. The footpath is now what was once the cart track around the site.
5. I think I will go around the other way, its making my nose bleed.
6. It must have had a use, but not now.
7. I think this was the base for the winding system that took the buckets of stone down the hill. Or was it?
8. I've been here before, and the stone flags are here long after the people who put them there.
9. I haven't looked this up yet, so haven't a clue as to what it is, but I will.
10. I've been up here that long its going dark.

So that was todays walk around Hapton Quarry, probably the steepest climb I have done in while, even the downhill bits made me out of breath.

For shame girl ! You're in the land of men in frocks & hairy swinging sacks ........ :eek: Sporrans, that's the word, Sporrans ! And that big daft beggar Spuggs hasn't shown you his culture ?? And I don't class deep fried mars bars & Irn Bru-Whisky shots as culture ! ;) No wonder Hadrian built that flamin' great wall. :D
