The
plan was to walk over the shoulder of Lochnagar
but when we reached loch Muick, the weather
didn't look at all promising. So we
retreated down the valley to the bridge
at Mill of Sterin and walked up the western
side of the glen, past an impressive waterfall,
featured in the Mrs Brown film, up to the
bridge just above it, clearly shown on my
paper map.
Unfortunately
it is no longer there so we had to retrace
our steps down the valley and continued
past Birkhall with its sentry box and monster
tree shredding machine, to the Dee road
and then back up the eastern side to the
car, in the course of which we passed several
washings, a scurriestone guarded by a highand
cow, a hidden tower and a glimpse of Birkhall.
