Breathtakingly beautiful. My ancestors lame from a beautiful country.

This is one of a series of several 'Fairy Pools' and waterfalls coming down from from the mountains.

Why in the world did my family leave such a beautiful country?

Just imagine all of those beautiful scenes with a hundred bagpipers wailing away. You'd jump on a ship so you can listen to New York City jackhammers too. :-)

(Just joking with all the bagpipers. You don't need to come to my house to blow into the wrong end of a cat to show me what sounds come out.)

It’s stunning. But, nothing more than moss and grass growing, very rocky. Poor soil no doubt. Hardscrabble life, trying to eke enough food out of that to support a family.

I watched that video and it was quite awesome. Had to watch the credits at the end to find out it wasn’t a helicopter doing the aerial camera work but a drone........cool!

How does that cyclist Mccaskil keep his tires from getting cut to shreds on that incredible ride he took? And what skill and guts!

The words of "The Road to the Isles" started up in my mind as I viewed the great picture studies. One, of Rannock Moor brought me back to 1954. I was a youth hosteller up from London Town. I was told at Kinloch Rannoch station, no train for four hours to Fort William.

I asked the station master if the path starting at the moor would take me to Glencoe. It was about twelve miles. I started walking and he said "I hope ye know what ye are doing". After ten miles with absolutely no dwellings, but the streams and the croaking of frogs, I lost it. Became disoriented.

Not the website to go on the subject, but the memory still vivid. I later learned that in 1907, four Irish lads working on a great hydro project, had walked the same route. There was no tavern at Kinloch Rannock and with their pay went to Glencoe to drink. At the area where I almost lost it, on their return, a storm blew up. They died.

This was on the eastern side of Rannoch, not where the Glencoe massacre took place. I finally saw a lodge and a path to the highway.

Indeed. My ancestors were in part Campbell and McDonald (McDonnell). I have been told when I return to go as a McDonald. It is on our bucket list although the wifee doesn’t think she can do another plane ride.

The two prettiest girls in my class were named MacDonald and Campbell. They were best friends which I always thought ironic.

They were both absolute babes.
