Gairich summit The early start <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2777591">NH0602 : The north shore of Loch Quoich with Gairich behind</a> was worth it for the reward of the spectacular views during the walk. In the foreground, the summit area of Gairich is the mixture of stones and mossy grass so common in this part of the highlands <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2777514">NH2781 : Conival summit with Seanna Bhraigh</a>. Across the loch the conical summit of Sgurr a' Mhaoraich can be seen above the back wall of the corrie. The arm of the loch beyond the bridge leads to Glen Quoich and the "back" of the south Glen Sheil ridge. Beyond that, hills in the Five Sisters can be spotted.
