A lifelong fascination with glaciers has taken biogeochemist Jemma Wadham to the furthest reaches of Earth. But it took a near-fatal brain tumour for her to realise just how precarious life on our planet is.
Time: 2-3 hours I wanted some photographs of the southern reaches of Glen Shee but needed a bit of height. A look at the map showed what appeared to be a conical shaped hill jammed between Glen Shee and Glen Isla. It was called Mount Blair. The name of the hill is interesting. Some suggest it refers to a clearing while others say it means ‘plain hill’ or even ‘hill of the plain’. Certainly its western slopes lack any real discerning features so ‘plain hill’ could be justified. The eastern slopes, above Glen Isla, are made a little more interesting by the scoop of Corrie Vanoch, which is littered with ancient tumuli – cairns, hut circles and field systems.
