The Scottish Highlands at Dalmunzie: the Climb Begins

This is Dalmunzie in the Scottish Highlands [1] and a slow, but scenic, procession is just starting up into the mountains. This tiny train is being led by leading a pack horse carrying the picnic hampers (just visible climbing steadily away in the distance).


If you think this sounds like a wild fantasy, think again! There's footage of it all happening in the late 1960's at

starting at 8m35s and then again at 30m00s.


The screenshot was taken on the newly rebuilt "Dalmunzie - Glenlochsie" route <KUID:283805:100151> & session ("Dalmunzie - Glenlochsie 1978" <KUID:283805:100152>). The route was reworked by tmz06003 from Vern's Dalmunzie route (with permission). Enjoy!

[1] Dalmunzie is in Perthshire and is (now) 72 miles, by road, from where my mother was born and grew up in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.
