Impromptu drinking fountain

Beside the minor road at Glasphein / A' Ghlas Pheighinn, and perhaps catering mainly for wandering animals, it is fed by a small burn running off the hillside.

Mist over the moor

It was a bleak day on the moor - not a day for scenic photography. The location here is the eastern flank of Scoval.
