The weather was perfect for a short winter day trip to the delightful hill foot village of Dollar and to the Ochils behind the castle.

Our cars filled the entire car park at the eastern end of the village, not easily found by some.

With the option of a low level walk to Glen Devon or a circuit of the little summits of Kings Seat and White Wisp, the majority chose the latter.

25 figures all clad for winter soon pulled off layers in the glorious sunshine although frost lay on the ground all day.

The views from the tops were glorious, from Berwick Law to the Lawyers range.

The day was hugely sociable with a very leisurely pace set and plenty of time to catch up with any news.

The only exceptions to the route were Harrold and Connie Thomson who set out on a more intrepid route, which took in Seamab Hill and Auchlinsky Hill then back via Glenquey reservoir.

We met up for afternoon tea and stronger refreshment at the convivial Castle Campbell Hotel.
