We visited Dollar last summer and found it breathtaking. Truly one of my favorite places. My pictures are in summer, so lots of flowers. I posted pictures of our hike to the castle sometime last summer.

I think if I lived in Dollar I would hike this Glen every week - it is just stunning, so lush it gives you a sense of the pre-historic. <br /><br />EcoGrrl: greetings! Good to see you again. Other than plenty of walks around Speyside, a visit to Corgarff Castle looks like it would be interesting. I've not been but I love the idea of that white against the darkening hills. Also, check Visit Scotland's info on Autumn days out - some great ideas there. Have a wonderful time. :)PurestGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860331983741242940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473528606413302079.post-28488865706963095292010-09-13T07:20:38.118+01:002010-09-13T07:20:38.118+01:00lovely to find you again - i thought you disappear...lovely to find you again - i thought you disappeared with the chickadees!<br /><br />i will be in scotland in late november - taking the train from heathrow and staying in grantown (a bit of a pilgrimage)...any tips for that time of year, taking the train, anything you can imagine?EcoGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856550147714231721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473528606413302079.post-46800487642104750952010-09-13T03:39:26.101+01:002010-09-13T03:39:26.101+01:00I love this view.

We did all the touristy stuff last year because family were with us but are hoping to do lots and lots of this sort of thing when we go back. Plus there will be some hard core begging to move back methinks.
