Shoreline at Earnsaig

There's two buildings which are roofed in this shot, seen either side of the burn which cascades down the steep and rocky hillside. One to the left appears to be some sort of shed, whilst to the right is a cottage. The 1873 map shows a total of 3 roofed structures here, but no sign of any paths in or out. Taken from the Tarbet ferry, but distance from the shoreline is guesswork.

Rock-plated knoll and slopes below summit of SgÃ¹rr Eireagoraidh

Sgùrr Eireagoraidh lies to the east of Mallaig above the entry to Loch Nevis. The slopes are on its upper east side and in the image they conceal Loch Nevis. Beyond is Knoydart with Meall Buidhe and Luinne Bheinn both well snowed.

The rockiness north of the summit of Sgùrr Bhuidhe, a 'Marilyn' - a mountain with a prominence of at least 150 m.. Sgùrr Eireagoraidh is the sharply pointed peak beyond; another Marilyn.
