Over the last couple of years, I have joined a group of friends in a week long pilgrimage to Scotland for walking and a few beers. This year we decided to give the Isle of Skye and the Black Cuillin a go.

I am told it does rain in Scotland, but I am unconvinced as you can see by the picture above on Bla Bheinn (Blaven). The views were majestic and the hill is one of the easier to climb on the island, with some of the others requiring some scrambling ability and a head for heights. Despite a little sunburn, we made it down comfortably and set us up nicely for the week. The hills in the background on the second picture are the Red Cuillin, an altogether more simple proposition.
