Busk, Busk Bonnie Lassie
I wanted some photographs of the southern reaches of Glenshee but needed a bit of height. A scrutiny of the map showed what appeared to be a conical shaped hill jammed between Glenshee and Glen Isla. It was called Mount Blair.
The name of the hill is interesting. Some suggest it refers to a clearing while others say it means ‘plain hill’ or even ‘hill of the plain’. Certainly its western slopes lack any real discerning features so ‘plain hill’ could be justified. The eastern slopes, above Glen Isla, are made a little more interesting by the scoop of Corrie Vanoch, which is littered with ancient tumuli – cairns, hut circles and field systems.
There are also standing stones and hut circles on the southern slopes of the hill so it’s clear that people have made use of the fertile qualities of both Glen Shee and Glen Isla for some considerable time. Although we were tackling the hill from what is possibly its least interesting aspect we reckoned the north slopes would offer us the best views, and we were right.
Leaving the campervan at a layby on the B951 we walked east to find a gate on the right that gives access to a field. Once through the gate we girded our loins for what turned out to be a straightforward but relentless climb to the 744m summit. The footpath, initially a bit on the muddy side, improved as it left the fields and grooved its way over heather slopes, climbing steadily with wonderful views in all directions.
‘Busk, busk bonnie lassie,
And come along wi’ me,
And I’ll tak ye tae Glen Isla,
by bonnie Glenshee’
The old song came to mind as we climbed, reminding me of the last time I sang it in the company of Margaret Bennet from the School of Scottish Studies and Ian McGregor, grandson of the renowned traveller and ballad singer, Belle Stewart. Ian had told me it was one of the favourites of his family when they met together for the berry-picking at Blairgowrie.
The great champion of the travelling people, Hamish Henderson, one of the founders of the School of Scottish Studies in Edinburgh, lived for a while in Glenshee and had his ashes scattered on Ben Gulabin, a hill that now dominates the southern approaches to the Cairngorms National Park near the Spittal of Glenshee, a hill that we could now see clearly from our lofty vantage point.
After some steady climbing the angle of the slope eased off and we could see the transmitter mast that dominates the summit. It didn’t take us long after that, and soon we were coorying down in the summit shelter beside the large cairn and trig pillar, a flask of tea bringing a comforting warmth in the chill of late winter.
To the north the great swell of the Cairngorms dominated everything else. Glas Tulaichean, Ben Gulabin, Glas Maol and the hills above the Caenlochan and Canness Glens were all snow-capped and made a formidable barrier. To the east the hills were less dramatic, high plateaux split by the long glens of Isla, Prosen and Clova. It was just a great place to be. Even the transmitter mast didn’t spoil our pleasure. It’s difficult to argue about these things when we all rely so heavily on mobile phones.

Conservationists say climate change threat must be addressed to avoid reef’s inclusion on ‘in-danger’ list
Call for Australia to show Unesco it's 'walking the walk' on Great Barrier Reef
Conservationists say an official government report to the UN’s world heritage committee to be released next week must show Australia has fresh plans to attack the Great Barrier Reef’s two key threats – climate change and water quality.
At a forum earlier this month environment ministers signed-off on the “state of conservation” report for the reef,which was then sent to Unesco’s world heritage committee.
Australia's science academy attacks 'cherrypicking' of Great Barrier Reef research Read more
A report to be published on Friday by the World Wide Fund for Nature-Australia and the Australian Marine Conservation Society details what they say Australia needs to do to avoid the committee placing the reef on its “in danger” list when it meets in China next year.
The report says Australia must revise its central Great Barrier Reef policy, the Reef 2050 plan, to fill a “gaping hole” left by the absence of efforts to keep global heating to 1.5C.
Australia needs an “energy transition plan”, the report argues, that is compatible with the Paris climate agreement’s ambitious target.
Richard Leck, WWF-Australia’s head of oceans, told Guardian Australia the government was now clearly acknowledging climate change as the reef’s greatest threat, and that temperatures needed to be kept to 1.5C.
He said: “With all of that in front of us, the committee may be very concerned that Australia is acknowledging the need to limit global warming to 1.5C but, at this stage, is not walking the walk.”
Mass coral bleaching along the reef in 2016 and again in 2017 killed half the shallow water corals, with northern sections hit hard. The following year, the number of new corals crashed by 89%.
In July 2019, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority published a revised climate change position statement, when it stressed the need to stick to a 1.5C global warming target, adding: “If we are to secure a future for the Great Barrier Reef and coral reef ecosystems globally, there is an urgent and critical need to accelerate actions to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.”
In August, the authority’s five-yearly outlook report downgraded the long-term prospects for the reef from “poor” to “very poor”. Also that month, an official review of water quality along inshore reefs found conditions had failed to improve.
State of the reef
In 2017 the world heritage committee asked for Australia to submit a detailed report on the state of the reef before 1 December, which should include progress on water-quality targets.

Earlier this month, environment ministers sent that report, which Unesco is expected to make public in the coming days.
At the time, the Queensland environment minister, Leeanne Enoch, said her government’s newly-enacted farm pollution laws “along with other efforts including tree clearing laws and action on climate change” would “prevent it from being listed by the world heritage committee as in-danger next year.”
The committee will review the reef again at its annual meeting, to be held in China in June next year.
Reef in danger?
The world heritage committee resisted pressure to put the reef on its “in danger” list in 2015 after the Queensland and federal government had tabled its Reef 2050 plan, which set targets to improve water quality along the 2,300-kilometre reef.
The last time the Great Barrier Reef was reviewed by Unesco, the world heritage committee said it “strongly encourages” Australia to “accelerate efforts” to meet the Reef 2050 plan’s targets “in particular regarding water quality”.
It had one major flaw. It did not include climate change Richard Leck, WWF
The report from WWF-Australia and AMCS also says extra funding should be given to enforcing water quality laws. A reforestation program should be introduced along riverbanks and other landscapes to reduce run-off into waterways that flow into the reef.
Leck said the Reef 2050 plan was an “excellent” response, but added: “It had one major flaw. It did not include climate change.
“Given what’s happened to the reef in the subsequent years, that is now a gaping hole. The next 2050 plan has to incorporate what the federal and Queensland government has recognised. A reef-safe strategy has to be 1.5C compatible.
“The Australian government clearly acknowledges the reef’s greatest threat is climate change. It’s a no-brainer that we need a climate policy consistent with the reef’s survival.”
Imogen Zethoven, AMCS director of strategy, said that to avoid a possible “in danger” listing, the Australian government needed to rapidly reduce emissions, transition to renewable energy and accelerate efforts to address local threats.
Australia pressures Unesco over impact of climate change on Great Barrier Reef Read more
In a 2017 review of the government’s climate change policies, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority wrote: “To ensure a future for the Great Barrier Reef (ie as a functioning reef ecosystem), the latest science indicates the stronger position in the Paris agreement to restrict the increase to 1.5C (or ideally less) above pre-industrial is essential.”
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said that even at 1.5C of warming, coral reefs around the world would decline by 70 to 90%. At 2C, coral reefs would all but disappear.
The world heritage committee has been slow to produce a new policy that would outline how it plans to incorporate climate change impacts into its decision making.
In July, the Australian government told a world heritage meeting that climate change threats on individual sites should not be used to justify “in danger” listings.
Stephen Oxley, from the environment and energy department, told the committee Australia was disappointed the policy had not been finalised.
But the department told Guardian Australia its intervention was unrelated to the reef’s assessment at the 2020 meeting.

When walking on the High Line , it’s tough to look more lost than some of the tourists, but I did a pretty good job of it last month when I tripped on a curb while looking at art . (I caught myself before falling, but still.)
I was taking in an exhibition from Aery, a new augmented reality platform tailored to digital art exhibitions. Looking up to the heavens through an iPad , and not at my feet, I was using a loaner tablet to get an artwork by Richard Humann to magically appear.
But it worked: On the iPad, a constellation of a rose appeared, at an angle in the sky and topped by a crown, as Mr. Humann intended. A couple of out-of-towners who were watching me seemed mightily impressed when they looked over my shoulder at the screen.

Destination: Bucharest - A walk on Calea Victoriei
If the streets could tell their stories, Calea Victoriei would definitely have a long history to share. One of the oldest and most beautiful streets of the Capital, Calea Victoriei is the place where the city displays its elegant palaces, invites its inhabitants and visitors to the theater, museums and concerts. We start from Națiunile Unite Square to Victoriei Square to get to know it better.
Today known as Calea Victoriei, the street links its beginnings to the name of Romanian ruler Constantin Brâncoveanu (Alexandru Ofrim - Străzi vechi din Bucureştiul de azi - Old streets from nowadays Bucharest, Humanitas, 2011). In 1692, he built a road to connect his estate on the shore of Dâmboviţa, to the estate of Mogoșoaia, where he would build a palace in 1702. The road was paved with wooden beams, hence its name then, Mogosoaia Bridge. The road was renamed Calea Victoriei only in 1878, after the Independence War, when the victorious Romanian troops made their triumphal entry into the Capital here. Little of the original configuration has been preserved, but almost every building today has a history that connects it to the earlier periods of the road.
It is a cool November morning and the sky is not very clear. From the hotel at the intersection of Calea Victoriei with Ion C. Filitti St. a tourist comes out and approaches to check one of the billboards indicating the attractions in the area. We follow his example and, in a few steps, we are in front of the National History Museum of Romania. It occupies the building of the former Post Palace, opened in 1900. The palace, built on a land on which Brâncoveanu had built an inn called Constantin Vodă, it reminds in its architecture of the post office in Geneva. The elegant façade, with the portico supported by 10 Doric columns, is today a favorite place for photography enthusiasts. Inside, the museum awaits its visitors to discover important pieces of the historical treasure of Romania - among them, the Getic princely treasure from Cucuteni-Băiceni, the princely Getic gold gown from Coţofeneşti, the gold Dacian bracelets discovered at Sarmizegetusa and objects and jewelry of the Royal House of Romania - as well as a replica of Trajan's Column in Rome.
On the opposite side, our attention is drawn by the Palace of the House of Deposits, Consignments and Economy - CEC Palace. Its construction began in 1897, on the site of the monastery and inn of Saint John the Great, settlements restored by Constantin Brâncoveanu in 1702 - 1703. Like many buildings on Calea Victoriei, the palace reflects the admiration of the era for the French culture - it was built according to the plans of the architect Paul Gottereau, with typical elements of French architecture from the end of the 19th century. Its central dome, made of glass and metal, is one of the easily recognizable elements of a symbol building of the Capital and one of the most solid, unaffected by earthquake elements, that have changed the look of the city in other areas.
A little further on, Stavropoleos Street connects with the Old Center of the city. Here we find the Caru' cu Bererestaurant, very popular with tourists and beyond. The restaurant building, with a history of over 130 years, was built in neo-Gothic style, the ground floor being richly decorated with paintings, stained glass, mosaics and carved panels.
On the same street, a few steps away, we find the Stavropoleos Church, an oasis of unexpected silence in a pretty hectic part of the city. Inside you hear the Sunday Mass. In the courtyard, several tourists photograph the architectural details of this monument built in Brancovan style. The church was built in 1724, during the reign of Nicolae Mavrocordat, and testifies to the original site, which also included an inn and several annexes, demolished at the end of the 19th century. When leaving the church yard some children are waiting for their parents, while other tourists photograph the area, one full of interesting details and the perfect spot to take a picture of the CEC Palace.
We return to Calea Victoriei and resume our itinerary, leaving behind the Zlătari Church, rebuilt by Mihai Cantacuzino in 1705, and the Victoria Store, which housed during the interwar period the Lafayette Galeries store, the first large department store in Romania, built after the stores with large exhibition spaces in Paris. We enter to take a look at the Macca-Villacrosse Passage. The two branches of the passage covered with glass start from Calea Victoriei and merge before leaving the Eugeniu Carada Street. The passage, designed by architect Felix Xenopol, bears the name of Xavier Villacrosse, chief architect of the Capital in the years 1840 - 1850, and of his brother -in – law, Mihalache Macca. Customers have not yet occupied the cafeteria terraces in the passage and the colored glass that covers it masks a little of the gloomy morning.
Back on Calea Victoriei we approach the Grand Hotel du Boulevard, one of the oldest in Bucharest, built by Alexandru Orăscu, also the architect of the University of Bucharest building. The hotel opened for the first time in 1873, under the name of Hotel Herdan, and the name of Grand Hotel du Boulevard will be received only in 1877. The elegant building, to be reopened, has hosted receptions, dinners and lavish balls over time, being recognized as a center of Bucharest’s high-life.
We cross the intersection with Regina Elisabeta Boulevard and reach the National Military Circle. Built in 1911 according to the plans of the architect Dimitrie Maimarolu, in the style of the eclectic neoclassicism, the palace is under renovation today. It was built on the site of the former Sărindar Monastery - meanwhile demolished - whose name is kept by the well in front of the palace.
We pass a group of tourists who converse in Spanish and arrive in front of Casa Capșa, the restaurant first opened in 1852, famous for its confectionery and as a meeting place for the local literary elite. A little further on opens the view offered by Odeon Square, the place where we find the Odeon Theater, one of the oldest and most beautiful theaters in the Capital. The architect Grigore Cerchez designed the architectural ensemble the theater is part of, whose Majestic Hall has a sliding ceiling and a l'italienne stage.
We are advancing next to the Telephone Palace building, until the 70s the tallest building in Bucharest, and we are acquainted with the modernist identity of the city. The palace was built between 1929 and 1934, having representative features for the Art Deco style. Beside, the Novotel Hotel reminisces the former location of the Bucharest National Theater, with its entrance that reproduces the facade of the theater building, bombed in August 1944.
We advance next to tourists eager to capture the architecture of the boulevard in a photograph and besides cyclists - Calea Victoriei has a dedicated track along its entire length. We leave behind a few shops selling luxury watches and jewelry, we pass the Muzica Store, another landmark on Calea Victoriei, and we reach the Revolution Square.
Here, awaits us the Crețulescu Church, one of the most valuable architectural monuments from the end of the Brancovan period. It was built in 1720 - 1722 at the initiative of the great boyar Iordache Crețulescu and his wife Safta, one of Constantin Brâncoveanu’s daughters. Near the church there was also an inn, which at that time was located at the northern barrier of the city.
In the square we find the Monument of Corneliu Coposu. Coposu was president of the National Christian Democratic Peasant Party between 1989 and 1995 and former political detainee under the communist regime. The bust was made by sculptor Mihai Buculei. Opposite there is the Monument of Iuliu Maniu - former prime minister of Romania between 1928 and 1933, who died as a political prisoner in the Sighet prison - the work of the sculptor Mircea Corneliu Spătaru. Nearby we find the Memorial of the Renaissance (Memorialul Renașterii), a monumental ensemble built in memory of the 1989 Romanian Revolution victims, made by Alexandru Ghilduș. The area may seem solemn by the accumulation of monuments, but it is also a favorite place for skaters, who often come to practice their skills here.
We continue our journey and reach one of the most important museums in Bucharest - the National Art Museum of Romania. The museum is located in the former Royal Palace. It was first built in 1837 by the ruler Alexandru Ghica, who made it a palace of ceremony out of the house built in 1820 by Dinicu Golescu on the Mogosoaiei Bridge, on the site now occupied by the south wing of the museum. Between 1882 and 1906, Carol I hired for the extension of the palace the architects Paul Gottereau (1882-1885) and Karel Liman, who had also collaborated in the construction of the Peles castle. Other works of reconstruction and amplification of the palace are initiated by Carol II between 1930 and 1937, using the architect Arthur Lorentz. Today, the public can visit here the European Art Gallery, the Gallery of Modern Romanian Art and the Gallery of Old Romanian Art. Also, the palace spaces are open for various cultural events, from concerts to film festivals.
Across the street from the museum we find two other impressive buildings. The first is the Central University Library, located in the Palace of the Carol I University Foundation, the headquarters of the Royal Foundations. The building was designed by the French architect Paul Gottereau and inaugurated in 1895, in the presence of King Carol I. It is the oldest university library in the city and in the past, has housed an important collection of rare books and manuscripts of national cultural personalities, many destroyed by the fire that covered the building during the Revolution of 1989. In front of the library building we find a modern bicycle rental system - the area is also full of cyclists who take turns in front of and around the building of the Romanian Athenaeum.
The Athenaeum was built more than 100 years ago (1886-1888), following the plans of French architect Albert Galleron. For the building of the edifice were also used funds from a public subscription, which remains today in history due to the rhythmic and efficient slogan "Give a leu to the Athenaeum!" (In Romanian: „Dați un leu pentru Ateneu!”). The Athenaeum is the place where the public in Bucharest could meet personalities such as Pietro Mascagni, Richard Strauss, Bela Bartok, Igor Stravinski, Sergei Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel or Herbert von Karajan. The tradition is continued today by the George Enescu Philharmonic or at the George Enescu Festival. The Romanian Athenaeum is not only a symbol of national culture and one of the most beautiful buildings of the Capital, but also a favorite place for photographers, either professionals or amateurs. We find the Athenaeum in the center of a lively agitation, with many passers-by who want a picture with the building in the background.
We cross the Episcopiei Street, take it next to Athenee Palace Hilton, another famous hotel in the capital, also built on the site of a former inn, and soon we reach the White Church, a place of worship - historical monument dating from the beginning of the eighteenth century. On Calea Victoriei follows a section with several shops, cafes or art galleries. Among them we find the café, theater and event space Green Hours Jazz Cafe and the Act Theater. We are preparing to see another museum, but not before admiring the Știrbei Palace, whose caryatids immediately attract our attention. The palace, in neoclassical style, was built according to the plans of the French architect Michel Sanjouand, at the request of Barbu Știrbei, future ruler of Wallachia. At the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century, the palace was famous in Bucharest for the select socialite events organized here. After the nationalization in 1948, the palace housed the Museum of Folk Art until 1977, later becoming the headquarters of the Museum of Ceramics and Glass.
Then we arrive at the Museum of Art Collections, hosted by the Romanit Palace. The palace is one of the oldest in Bucharest, its construction beginning at an early stage in 1812, at that time built for the boyar Constantin Faca, father of the writer Costache Faca. Remaining unfinished, the palace was sold to Grigore Romanit, a supervisor of the House of Bridges, which was in charge of maintaining the main streets of the city. After Romanit's death, in 1834, the building was rented by the ruler Alexandru Dimitrie Ghika and bought by the state two years later, in 1836. At the same time, the restoration of the edifice is ordered, which housed, starting with 1838, the Administrative Court of Wallachia. Now, the art-loving public finds here the Collections Museum, inaugurated in 1978, as a section of the National Art Museum of Romania. Here are displayed works by Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ioan Andreescu, Nicolae Tonitza, Gheorghe Petraşcu, Theodor Pallady and many others, alongside European and Japanese graphics or religious icons from Transylvania.
A little further on we find the Romanian Academy, which occupies three important buildings in a park rich in vegetation. One of the buildings was the Slătineanu property, another, towards Mihai Moxa street, of the Filipescu family, dating from the first half of the 19th century, while the third body, the library, was built in 1936 - 1937 according to the plans of architect Duiliu Marcu, who also made the building of the Victoria Palace, the Government headquarters, located in Victoriei Square. In the park we see the statue of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, the work of sculptor Mihail Ecobici, which represents a replica of the institution's logo.
We leave behind the Nicolae Iorga Park, we pass by the Vernescu and Ghica-Grădişteanu houses, and we approach the Cantacuzino Palace, one of the most beautiful in the city. The palace, easily recognizable after the two lions that frame the entrance shaded by the cover in Art Nouveau style, was built according to the plans of the architect Ion D. Berindei. The owner was Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, former prime minister of Romania, nicknamed Nababul for his considerable wealth. After his death, the palace returned to his son Mihai, who left it by will to his wife, Maruca. She married George Enescu in 1939. Today, the Palace hosts the George Enescu National Museum, where various concerts and cultural events take place.
After passing a few other cafes and restaurants we reach the Filipescu-Cesianu house, an example of a boyar house from the beginning of the 19th century. Constantin Cesianu extended his residence in 1892, with the help of the architect Leonida Negrescu, on which occasion the park of the residence was also designed. The building hosts today the Exhibition "Museum of the ages" (in Romanian „Muzeul vârstelor”), organized by the Bucharest Municipality Museum.
For a few minutes we stop in the beautiful park of the house, which also houses an exhibition space. We are at the end of our journey. A little further on, we reach Victoriei Square, leaving behind many histories and monuments from the city’s history and return to the turmoil of the present.
This material is part of a project under the program of promoting the touristic heritage “Destination: Bucharest”, carried out by the Bucharest City Hall through the Public Monuments and Touristic Heritage Administration (AMPT).
