Walk led by Mary Mackenzie up the steep sided hill Sidhean Mor Dail a' Chaorainn, which translates as "the big fairy hill of the meadow of the rowan tree". On top of this glacial knoll is the site of a prehistoric palisaded enclosure. Evidence of the enclosure can still be seen on the ground where the timbers have rotted. It is known locally as "Johnny Blair's Garden" after a local man who made a garden with trees, flowers and vegetables on top of the hill to prove that crops could grow, even on such an uncompromising site. On the way, we will pass the former township of Dalchurnmore.

Organised by Badenoch Heritage Festival. Cost £8.30. Further details and tickets on Eventbrite.
