SCOTLAND360° BLOG POST - A DAY TRIP TO GLENSHEE
23rd April 2006
A long day out on Carn an Righ and Glas Tulaichean but with fabulous views northwards to the Cairngorms.
27km over 9.5 hours from the Spittal of Glenshee.

Centre in the panorama is the Lairig Ghru with Devil’s Point, Angel’s Peak and Cairn Toul to the left of the Lairig. The panorama moves left into the Glenfeshie hills, whilst panning to the right brings in Ben Macdui, Derry Cairngorm and ultimately across to Beinn a’ Bhuird.

I’m Angus Mackie, a professional photographer, based just north of Inverness on the beautiful Black Isle. I'm on the North Coast 500 and am well placed to discover most of the Highlands. The iconic scenery of Glen Affric and the Cairngorms are close by whilst many of the wild and dramatic locations on the west coast are within easy reach.
Mountains, landscapes, coastlines.... As a landscape and panoramic photographer, I enjoy exploring Scotland and its wild and remote places and have discovered some of the best photography locations in the Highlands over the last 35 years of living up here. With a broad and wide ranging knowledge of the Highlands, I still enjoy finding new locations and fresh perspectives for my photography. The use of natural light to capture stunning scenery at spectacular locations is very much a key factor for my photography.
I’m a qualified Summer Mountain Leader, a Sea Kayak Leader and a UKCC Level 2 Sea Kayaking coach, with many years experience of leading and guiding. I was also a longstanding member of Dundonnell Mountain Rescue Team.
