Cow Hill, Fort William

Given the close proximity of Ben Nevis and other giants, the modest peak of Cow Hill (287m) is hardly likely be be the most well known hike in the region. However, for a quick skoot out from town, it's well worth a trip, with an easy path and great views of Ben Nevis.


The colours of the trees at the moment are in full autumn mode.


As I didn't have much time, I had to walk fast up to the summit. I did stop to appreciate this little forest on the fence post though.



The summit views look right down Loch Linne and Loch Eil and far into the distance.


Further north it looked like the skies were bright again.


There were still a few patches of snow left on the summit of Ben Nevis from the showers earlier in the week.


Later in the day, heading south across Rannoch Moor, we stopped to view some magestic stags and old dears (deers). Through the binoculars we got some great views. In this photo they are harder to see!



The journey back south has begun - with a little business stop en-route in the mobile office....
