Watched the moody winter sunset at 5pm over Loch Awe from the top car park on the smooth tarmac road of the old military road. A spare hour before arriving at our dog-sit at Taynuilt, having driven over from Aberdeen. In 1875 Queen Victoria came to see the blocky summit monument -to the gaelic poet Duncan Ban McIntyre (died 1812).Chris Pearson07/11/2023
