The Great Glen is a huge geological fault, not nearly as many faults as me as my wife likes to point out, that cuts diagonally across the highlands 62 miles long with…

We’re north of the wall, one built by the Romans to keep the buckfast binging, bagpipe bashing, tartan totting, kilted claymore wielding clansmen and painted Picts at bay. This is the wild…
