Going to the mountains is going home.John Muir
Hamish Fulton came from Canterbury and walked across the Cairngorms in Spring 2010, starting from Huntly’s town square.
The Cairngorms are one of the last wilderness areas in Europe and few other places offer the possibility of several days walking without human interference. Huntly is situated in the foothills of the Cairngorms but not within the geographic and political boundaries. Taking you from the town square of Huntly up the Clashmach and into the Cairngroms, Hamish’s footpath is oblivious to such boundaries. His work asks the question: can the act of walking be a political and an artistic action?
