Ben Macdui stands just beneath the summit of Scotland’s fame; not the tallest, but no less significant.Its mass is quiet. Its height earned. Its name old.The second highest mountain in Britain, but one of the first in character.A reflection on value without spotlight. On rootedness. On being vast, but not loud.

Ben Macdui stands just beneath the summit of Scotland’s fame; not the tallest, but no less significant. Its mass is quiet. Its height earned. Its name old. The second highest mountain in Britain, but one of the first in character. A reflection on value without spotlight. On rootedness. On being vast, but not loud.

Ben Macdui: Second, not lesser

Short reflections inspired by the names of mountains.

Each episode explores a single mountain—its meaning, its myth, its quiet message—and offers a few minutes of stillness shaped by place, language, and breath.

Rooted in mindfulness and mountaineering, this is a space for those seeking calm, curiosity, and connection to the land.

There are no lessons here. No goals.
Just space to soften.

New episodes arrive weekly.
