Tigh Nam Bodach The figures are safe inside: outside Spring is showing up a little earlier than the last two years after a non-Winter. There is a lot of green grass in the glen, sheep are grazing high on the hill and the waders are back in their nesting grounds.

Landslide, Loch Lyon A slope above the road had become waterlogged bringing down soil and shale onto the lochside road. The road is also under attack from below, waves on the huge reservoir are eroding the bank. The loch is smaller than mapped by the Ordnance Survey, it is also time that the road was put on maps.
