    1. Used another strike day to climb Tom na h-Airidh (354 m) for it's spectacular views over Gare Loch, the home of the UK's nuclear arsenal, and towards the Arrochar Alps.

    I was going to continue on to The Fruin to cross off another Marilyn but it's honestly so easy to lose the path across the bog in this mist. Another day when there's less chance of getting lost on the moor.

      Some interesting shots from my misty hike up Tom na a-Airidh.

        The National Trust for Scotland staff were very apologetic that The Hill House was closed for conservation work but they let me up on the walkway which is what I was interested in anyway: this image of a house in a warehouse like in Synecdoche, New York; as if preserved in amber.

          They call it the Hill House Box and it's to prevent the house from, in the words of the signage, "dissolving like an aspirin in a glass of water." Maybe I had nuclear power on the brain being only a few kilometres from Trident but it put me in mind of the Chornobyl sarcophagus.

            An interestingly horrifying evocation given the link to Shirley Jackson's ghost story set in a house of the same name.
