We also watched Gryff Rhys Jones last night- wonderful. Once again reminded me of my magical photos -Fort William, Glencoe,Rannoch Mooretc. Also reminded me of our dangerous encounter on a back road to Invermoriston with a huge deer which just stepped out in front of our car at night and terrified the daylights out of us!
Do you know we have a problem with deer here in Australia in our National parks?

Beautiful, let’s hope they’ll never be “venison”!

We also watched watched Gryff Rhys Jones documentary on the Scottish highlands. In one scene there was a deer – was breathtaking.

Was only 7 when my parents took me to Scotland – and I have only the vaguest of memories.

Johanna – Seems you weren’t the only one!

Yvonne – I didn’t. We have a problem here too but only with red deer. They’re culled yearly. Suspect that’d more difficult in Australia due to the staggering size of the bush!

AOF – Haven’t heard of reindeer meat from Scotland before. There’s only one introduced herd (in the Cairngorn National Park) and I don’t think they’re farmed.

Sally – Going to the other side of the world as seven year old must have been an adventure!
