Craigendarroch, Braemar, Cairngorms. Name from Gaelic meaning ‘Rocky Hill of the Oaks, due to the amount of oaks on its slopes, alongside spruce and birch -an unusual feature. Opposite it and over the river Dee you can see Craig Coillich (Witch’s Rock) and Lochnagar summit (Cac Cearn Beag) which is a famous landscape artistically. The woodland here is beautiful, filled with birdsong from its trees thickly laden with lichen.

Until you embrace our past, you’ll never understand the present.
Day in day out, people wait for the next news article or compete over rumours of what’s to come, when in fact quite often the answers are staring at you in places you never thought to look.

Today is the Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, 18th June 1815. It was an extremely bloody battle which saw many valiant acts of heroism on all sides, but particularly from the many scots that took part. Most notably was the french eagle of the 45e Régiment de Ligne seized by then sergeant (promoted to Ensign shortly after) Charles Ewart of the Scots Greys, a 6’4” tall Ayrshireman from Kilmarnock, who split three Frenchmen’s heads open like fruit with his heavy cavalry sword.
Several Scottish regiments were in attendance for this legendary engagement:
Royal Scots Greys (Now Royal Scots Dragoon Guards)
The Scots Guards
The Royal Scots (Now 1 SCOTS, Royal Regiment of Scotland)
42nd & 73rd The Black Watch (Now 3 SCOTS, RRS)
The Highland Light Infantry (Now 2 SCOTS, RRS)
Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders (Now 4 SCOTS, RRS)
The Gordon Highlanders (Now 4 SCOTS, RRS)
