Ben Shian in a light dusting of Snow

Beinn-ant-Sithean (Ben Shian). This is Gaelic for 'Mountain of the Fairies or Fairy Hillocks'. Celtic fairies were not seen as the fairies of modern tales, but looked very much like us and lived in hollow mountains. The hill shelters Strathyre from West Winds and attracts hundreds of runners for the annual race up to its 572m (1860ft) summit
