The glove of Squirk

Well, I had a red nose that I didn't want photographed.

I decided that I needed to air my cold, so F and I went a walk around Loch an Eilean on the Rothiemurchus estate. We set off after saying a very long hello to the parking attendant's dog, which had such a marvellous thick coat and a lovely tendency to lean on the stroker.

The castle on the loch belonged to the infamous Wolf of Badenoch in the 14th century. It's now a sanctuary for birds.
