Yon Solitary Highland Lass

Behold her single in the field.

When we think of a mountain what does that invoke? A nice holiday in the mist, Maggi at a pit stop, coffee at a cool corner, some treks, lovely pine-lined drive and opening your eyes in the morning to the delectable snow-clad peaks. But have we ever dwelt upon the mountain women? The Himalayas run from north to east of our country providing that formidable border to the cold winds from the north. They prevent what could have been a lot harder but on these arduous mountain dwellers, the most formidable breed of women - the mountain women.
