Rothiemurchus and Meall a Bhuachaille 810m

In the unbroken possession of the Grants for over 400 years is Rothiemurchus, The Great Plain of the Firs (Francis Thompson, "Discovering Speyside"). From Tullochgrue the image shows a small part of the estate. The ridge in the distance extends from Craiggowrie (Goat Hill) in the west to Meall a Bhuachaille (Hill of the Shepherd) in the east. At 810 metres this hill is a Corbett and has magnificent views from its summit. The Ridge (as it is called) is a signed walk from the visitor centre at Glenmore and takes about 5 hours in summer but in severe winter conditions is not a walk that may be accomplished by all persons!
