From Dulwhinnie we head south traversing the western slopes of Drumochter. For most of that leg we are very close to the A9 and the railway line. Aftr about 15km we reach the high point of the road and it swings around and we head east along the southern flanks of Drumochter.

We were scouting for a picnic spot when we came across this apparition in the middle of nowhere (Bruar).As we drew closer it looked like a farmer's market so we pulled in to check it out. Behind the vegetable stalls and bric-a-brac there was a fairly substantial building so we went looking for toilets and found a very up-market (& pricey) cafeteria. We helped ourselves to a hot lunch and then went exploring. Managing to find some excellent goodies for tea.
