The Craigallian Fire Memorial on outskirts of Glasgow. This marks the location of a meeting point for those travelling between the city and the mountains to the north. From around the start of the 1920s until the outbeak of World War II, it's said a fire was continually kept burning by the steady steam of young and old, students and workers who, between them, explored all Scotland had to offer and fought for the right for anyone to roam across its wild places unhindered.

It was the birth place of not one, but two of Scotland's early mountaineering clubs (the Lomond and the Creagh Dhu). Amongst others Tom Weir, later to become an influential writer and broadcaster, was a regular visitor to the fire where those passing would stop to make a brew and talk with others doing the same.

If you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, both in Scotland and elsewhere, it's to these trailblazers that you owe a debt of gratitude for helping to ensure you still have the right to do so.

Stopped there briefly starting out along the #WestHighland, a beautiful, friendly, and well maintained route. Great memories and an absolute credit to the country.
