If you parked by Snib Scott's cave it's somewhere between half and three quarter mile south. I'm quite sure the tide gets to it since it's often got bit's of seaweed clinging to it. Hope you get a good one.

I'll try to remember that.<br />Happy holidays to you Tammie, enjoy your wilderness winter wonderland and keep posting those awesome images.The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-23369076050128072812014-12-17T15:18:13.618+00:002014-12-17T15:18:13.618+00:00Thanks for sharing another set of excellent shots....Thanks for sharing another set of excellent shots. I can see a must go to spot, the fishing boat remains if the tide reaches that far, perfect for a long shutter speed shot. I could see the tramps cave in one shot so assume its between there and Ballantrae. :) Ashrayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460112927441395082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-80298421738735988582014-12-17T15:16:39.692+00:002014-12-17T15:16:39.692+00:00I discovered that way up a couple of years ago Bob...I discovered that way up a couple of years ago Bob. I called in on the folks at Corseclays Farm who had no problem with us walking up from his fields.<br />However there is one farmer around Knockdolian who doesn't have much time for walkers.<br />Aye, I've been down to Sawney Beans, but have never been as far back as it goes. I had no torch that day.

Agree'd the Brocken Spectre is quite amazing, I've come across a partially formed halo once before, but never the symmetrical finished article..<br />Healthy cattle is a big part of the lifeblood of Scotland. I haven't been to a cattle sale in years, it's quite an experience.<br />I knew Ms~from Oz that you'd plump for the Mario Lanza version.<br />Thanks for your continued comments, they are appreciated.The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-33083464815457906802014-12-17T15:02:50.921+00:002014-12-17T15:02:50.921+00:00another excellent walk.

Local knowledge goes a long way as I didn't know that way up existed and didn't want to encourage folk to walk over farmers fields at random without a path to follow. Good set of photos as usual. I expect nothing less :o) Have you ever been in Sawney Bean's Cave? One of the caves at Bennane Head is supposed to go back into the hillside a good distance but it's probably a caving job and tight passages. I was thinking of paying a visit to check it out.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-25128730032873609002014-12-15T19:53:47.960+00:002014-12-15T19:53:47.960+00:00There were so many wonderful images one doesn'...There were so many wonderful images one doesn't absorb it all in one sitting. I'm curious what camera Scoop has (have I asked this before?) It amazes me how a similar subject can be captured so differently but just as effectively by each of you.<br />I had to follow the link for the Brocken Spectre - what an amazing phenomenon.<br />Wonderful to see dogs enjoying these rambles as well, and it's always pleasing to see that Scotland has a healthy share of Angus cattle (although where sheer cuteness comes into play, then Herefords are my personal favourites!)<br />Kilmer's 'Trees' is simple but beautiful, and you well know I would have put Mario afore the Platters :) (instead of popular music of the times, the man should have been singing arias in the operatic world and little else) I digress, what a fabulous post, a great walk and superb images by you Mr DeanS, and Scoop.<br />Rose ~ from Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908281749611280188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-39445863677201188212014-12-15T18:43:10.792+00:002014-12-15T18:43:10.792+00:00Dear Jim, what a happy group of people and such lo...Dear Jim, what a happy group of people and such lovely views, once again.
