Great Dour History
The first recorded activity was by Gordon Thompson in the late 60's, but the best line on the crag, Culloden, had to wait until visits by John Earl and Bob Hutchinson in the 70's. Earl & Hutchinson were unaware of Thompsons efforts and the names and descriptions given here are theirs.
