Gerald was one of our group of friends who meet periodically for skiing, kayaking and other outdoor pursuits. Unfortunately he died from cancer in early 2019 and his family decided that they would like to scatter his ashes on top of one of the Munros. Carn Liath, near Blair Atholl, was chosen as the location and we had a large group of family and friends to make the trek to the summit.

The route up Carn Liath is pretty obvious and the path has recently been much improved with the installation of stone steps along most of the route where there used to be steep scree slopes.
