We heard about a unique spiral staircase hike (Spirit Rock) from Aunt Mary’s cousin Julie and decided to try it out. The start of the hike was an exploration of the ruins of a 17-room mansion called the Corran (Gaelic for ‘point of land running into the sea’).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aunt Mary even joined us for the hike. It’s been a few years since the last time she joined us – might’ve been because the last time was incredibly hot, we got a bit lost, and we ran out of food and water \ud83e\udd23<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of large boulders to climb along the trail. Aunt Mary patiently waited for the kids to attempt each one \ud83d\ude0a<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    We could have continued on the trail, but were hungry for lunch so we headed home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
