I planned a holiday this summer to Orkney as I have neglected it in favour of Shetland. Then the line-up for Fiddle Frenzy in Shetland was announced. My trip became 4 days in Shetland and 3 days in Orkney. To see some of my favourite fiddlers play close to home seemed worth it. And it definitely was.

Beinn Ime
Most weekends I find my way to the hills for a walk. The last few weeks I have had my eye on Beinn Ime, a munro in the Arrochar Alps. Last weekend I made an attempt. Very wet. Mist swirling about. Blowing. The combination of the mist, mud, and lack of clear trail caused me to make the decision to divert to Beinn Narnain, which I was familiar with after walking up it earlier in the month.
