White mountain at Glen Esk

This winter has been very mild in Aberdeen. So, to experience a bit of cold and snow we have been going to the mountains! In the last walk we went to Glen Esk. We started in the car park near the Invermark Castle, followed the track by the Water of Lee, then we climbed steeply and passed the beautiful Falls of Unich and went uphill to experience a breathtaking view over Loch Lee and the Glen. We saw loads of mountain hares, which still have their white coat, and grouse, the famous grouse. Thanks to Anja, we have a record of our relaxing chat at the top of the hill and of our faces full of joy for being in outdoors Scotland.
