Today we hiked Fionn Bheinn, which is Gaelic for White Mountain. It is one of the Munros which is what they call a mountain over 3,000 feet in Scotland. The weather wasn't bad when we first set out but deteriorated as we carried on to the summit.

| White tailed deer |
 |
| Beautiful stone wall up on the moutain. We hid from the wind on the far side and had our picnic. The hotel had made us sandwiches which were delicious. |
 |
| View at the summit. There is a cairn up here somewhere. |
 |
| Ptarmigan up on the mountain. |
 |
| Herd of mountain deer. Took off like a shot when they heard us coming. |
 |
| View from the top |
 |
| Bog plants. There is actually a ton of colour up on the mountains. |
