Walk to Creagan Glas & Rogart

On our first full day in Scotland we had a morning walk up to the summit of Creagan Glas, the 600m hill behind the cottage and then went down into Rogart to the Pittentrail Inn for Sunday lunch. On the way back to the cottage we stopped to look at the monument to Sir John McDonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada who was born and brought up in Rogart.
