Tom na Croiche

After a morning spend studying different ways you can show possession in Gaelic (as you do), we headed over to Logierait this afternoon to explore the Tummel Shingle Island Nature Reserve and to find Tom na Croiche (the hillock of the gallows (an example of the genitive case)).

The former was more adventurous than we'd anticipated - paths were overgrown with nettles and latterly blocked due to landslides and so some scrambling up slopes was needed. However we did make the shingle. 

A monument to the 6th Duke of Athol now stands on Tom na Croiche. The approach to that was also overgrown making us feel like extras in an Indianna Jones film. However it was worth seeing - very tall and intricately carved. We also came upon a deer munching away which we were able to observe for a few minutes before it saw us and scarpered of. We seen another one earlier and a fox.
