Squirrel's Drey

A view of the Three Sisters of Glencoe, taken from near the Ralston Memorial.

The cairn is in memory of Ralston Claud Muir, who died at the age of 32. He loved to climb in the glen (his ashes are here too) and he was a train driver on the west highland line. Ralston died on the 10th of January 2000 very suddenly after taking unwell on Christmas Day. He died from multiple organ failure caused by a rare form of Leukaemia, which he never knew he had.

Another pano from under the van awning, this time a mono conversion in Silver Efex. the clouds just kept swirling and changing, it's a shame the van...

Looking down through the Glen yesterday you could see the greens giving way to the russets and browns as Autumn takes hold.

Couldn't find any information on who Ralston may have been but it's obvious from the sentiment on the plaque that they viewed these mountains as home and as home's go you'd be hard pushed to find better. The Three Sisters take left flank while the imposing wall of the Aonach Eagach ridge forms the right, with the view down Glen Coe taking centre stage.

Taken from just above The Study in Glencoe on a very, very windy day. Although there was some cloud, the thinner cloud coming in from the left...
