View up Glen Cally This is the very northern end of Glen Cally, the burn to the right. It divides in two just a hundred metres further up, and then peters out. Or rather springs into existence. The same happens to the path. The spur in the middle of the image leads straight onto the Mayar plateau. Just two miles from here and you are in Corrie Fee, which seems so far away when you are walking in Glen Isla.

The plateau at the end of Glen Isla Coming down Mid Hill this is the view towards the next hills, Tarmach Cairn and Bawhelps, which are just little bumps in the large plateau that extends from here to Loch Muick in the north, Glen Shee in the west and who knows what in the east. The nose that shows up in the background is, if I'm not mistaken, part of Mayar.

Shielings in Glen Cally Some of the two-wheel tracks in this area actually develop quite nicely into beautiful paths. This one is a good example. Others will stay eyesores for many years.
