The descent took us past Duncan Ban's monument. I do not know who or what he was; and I guess I ought to go back and take a proper look at it some time.

A gentle stroll through the Highlands of Scotland with the occasional photograph of wonderful sights seen along the way. This blog charts my experiences on the TGO Challenge - the world's premier backpacking event. The Challenge is to plan and execute your own unsupported foot crossing of Scotland, from the West coast to the East coast, and takes place during 15 days each May. Sounds easy? Think again! Sounds your sort of thing? Then read and enjoy ... and come join us some time!
One of Glen Orchy's most famous sons, the Gaelic Bard, Duncan Ban (or "Fair" Duncan), was born in a now deserted township on the shores of Loch Tulla.
ReplyDeleteAha! Thank you for that, Peter. Well, it's a fair old monument they built him, so they must have been passing fond of him ...
