a field covered in snow with a mountain in the background

We arrived at our little cottage for the week after having very carefully driven through a blizzard. Whilst that meant we didn’t get to do or see much for the rest of the day, the following day was bright and clear, with pristine white mountains. We used this opportunity of good weather to park up near the shore of Loch Long and hike up the short but steep trail towards a famous Scottish mountain: The Cobbler (also known as Beinn Artair, 884m/2,900ft) in the Arrochar Alps. Whilst we didn’t get to properly see the mountain due to hill fog, the view back down was just as spectacular.
