Haystacks
Haystacks A dry day and a walk up Haystacks. Wainwright adored Haystacks, calling it “the best fell-top of all” for its “beauty, variety and interesting detail”. He famously described it as a “shaggy terrier in the company of foxhounds” due to its unique, rugged character amidst more imposing neighbours.
Buttermere
Buttermere A typically wet day in the Lake District. The plan was to walk around Buttermere and up Haystacks but because of the rain Haystacks can wait for another day. Still managed a nice walk around Buttermere and a drive over Honister Pass
John Knox
John Knox The statue of John Knox in the Glasgow Necropolis. It was erected in 1825 and predates the cemetery which opened in April 1833. Information about the statue can be found on the Friends of Glasgow Necropolis website.
Snowdon

Drummond Castle Gardens
Drummond Castle Gardens A short visit on a nice afternoon to Drummond Castle Gardens near Crieff. It was a bit early in the year to see the gardens at their best and it was during a very dry spell of weather. Will be trying to visit again in the future.
