The Minigaig Pass

Description

The Minigaig Pass was created in the 16th century by the Lord of Badenoch. It was the only road north to the Highlands from Perthshire. It was created to transport a particularly fine ale from an Inn at Old Blair, next to Blair Castle. I started the run from the wall of the Barracks and finished at the wall of Blair Castle. I went up and over Beinn Bhuidhe into Glen Tromie, ran down the glen on tarmac then passed the head of Gaick Pass. The route started to get very remote here and I felt very isolated in the vastness of the Cairngorms.
