Cracking video mate, that was fascinating. This one must have bypassed me first time around.

Cheers Robin! Strongest memory of that trip was realising my leg was stuck up to my knee in mud. Saved the camera first though ofc 😄

You make a wee Glen look magnificent Kris. It's like another planet with all that water gone. Never knew there was an old farm there. Stunning. Love your car reg at the start 🤭😁

Cheers Kev! I know, It was definitely something a wee bit different. Wish I could have shared the smell as well though, it was a little whiffy 😁 Haha, private reg plate. Cost a fortune 🤣🤣

Brilliant , very enjoyable and thanks Kris.

Cheers Malcolm, It was good to meet you on the day. Hope you got some good pictures and hope you managed to clean the mud off your boots (mine are still caked) 😀 Cheers! Kris.

Man I started watching your videos for hints about Munros but this is an absolute belter of a hidden gem, planning on heading here on Thursday to check it out! Cheers!

Thanks! I've heard from some locals that the heavy rains over the past fews days have started filling it up again. I think the farmhouse might be submerged again already 😔

Cheers Esper! It's a stunning place, haven't seen anything like it before.

Great vid. There's a few lochs up North showing their former history just now. Old roads and bridges are visible on Loch Glascarnoch and there's one over Kintail way with an old stone arched bridge that people risk walking over every time it appears.

@@ScottishMountainGoat Fortunately not all of them. I'm no Reinhold Messmer, I'm a normal person, lol. Problem in Switzerland, many nice areas are pretty crowded. But it's a nice place to live. Have a wonderful weekend mate.

Was there today (been several times) and it was the lowest I have ever seen it. Lovely video.

Heard it's even lower this year than it was last year when this was made. I'll need to go back for another visit! 😄

Great video! Loved the storytelling, thanks for sharing!

Wonderful

Yeah, i was up there September last year. Came in from the Blackford side. The reservoir was almost empty and i saw the auld farm hoose.

"Spectacular, in a post-apocalyptic way." Such an amazing video! The quality, the subject, the location and a beautiful bird walking with you. What kind of bird was it? When was the farm house built?

Thanks Penny! 😊 It's a male pheasant. There were quite a few of them around that day but this one seemed to enjoy showing off for the camera 😄 I tried to find out when the farmhouse was built but didn't get to the bottom of it. I'll need to have a look at the old maps and see if I can spot when it appears 🤔 cheers, Kris.

Great vid, thanks. I believe it is actually called Backhills Farm rather than Blackhills. Dollar Museum has an excellent photo of it when it was still in use in 1939

You are correct! I must have misread it as "Black". The map I referenced for this can be found here in case it interests you: maps.nls.uk/view/91626457

I saw some posts about it being even lower this year a few weeks ago. There's been a fair bit of rain since then though so it may be filling up again by now.

Interesting story Kris, thanks for sharing. Loved all your camera work and atmospherics as always. Catch you on the hills soon, Steve.
