scothunter 12,609 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 That moor is one creepy place,it goes from daylight to pitch black on seconds. Remember fishing trip there once,lit a fire in the alcove of a huge boulder.woke up with the outer crust of the rock falling on us from the heat of the fire.in the morning our rods were were frozen in the loch.very inhospitable place,was f*****g glad to leave there that day.

mackay 3,067 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Scotland is one inhospitable place in winter, to be honest Rannoch moor is inhospitable in summer, I agree there must have been health/mental issues. RIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
