At Claggan Bay a merry notice reads. 'Chasing cows will be our fate if you do not close this gate.' We hear of otters seen for a couple of hours last evening. Our route is poached by cattle, with ruts from stalkers’ vehicles deep in water. A pasture of cows, calves and bull heading for our ‘ footbridge over a small burn.’ Can see only a deep pool of cattle poaching through which the herd goes splashing.
