View towards Loch nan Garbh Chlachan Peat and heather moorland stretch away towards the shores of Loch nan Garbh Chlachan where a line of stepping stones are visible, beyond which in an adjoining square is Dun Ban on an islet. Magnifying the image brings up what looks like some remains of walls at the dun. In the distance is the familiar outline of Eabhal.
