Southern Upland Way from Castle Kennedy - 19th January 2013

The snow was very patchy, quite a bit at home, none in Stranraer but some above Castle Kennedy.

Bluetit and blue sky
 We were going to park at the top but the road looked dodgy so we parked in the fishermans car park and headed up the hill on foot.

Bitterly cold but very beautiful up here

We stopped by this little loch for lunch

Not much life on the loch today

Snowdrops on the way back down and the snow is melting fast now!
