Events Calendar
Lorraine McCall will talk about her continuous, self-propelled round of the Grahams accomplished through the Spring and Summer of 2024. There is no record of it being done before and she is certainly the first person to do separate rounds of the Munros and later the Corbetts and now the Grahams. She began the epic route around Scotland in the hills of Strathconon close to her home in Beauly, first working through the Grahams of the west coast, the Inner Hebrides and the Western Isles and then looping through Galloway and the Borders before returning north via Angus, the Cairngorms and the far northeast. Lorraine's final Graham was Stac Pollaidh.
