"Crablogger" This picture was taken at long range and cropped! The beast here devours forests. The arm can grab fell and desprag/debark the trunk in seconds.  I saw the machine later when out of use and it had written on the arm "Danger do not approach within 500ft" A quick conversion reassured me, I took this photo from 400m range, on the way up Crock. 

(Crablogger refers to a similar animal in Thunderbirds- it was of course a) nuclear powered and  b) went wrong)

Crock Near the summit of Crock, the name simply means "hill", usually spelt Cnoc. The summit is a small area of moorland set in a vast conifer plantation. The easiest way up is a track from the north, but felling replanting is likely to change things. View looking north, the striking peak is Mayar (927m)

Glenmarkie A farm in the midst of the forest. The land here is grazed by sheep and cattle (They are currently using a Limousin bull, so lots of beigy-orange calves). The farm is also an equestrian  centre/guest house, the tracks and moors here are all marked with horseshoes - its ideal country for riding.  The background is the forested slope of Hare Cairn,

North Ridge of Hare  Cairn Looking down Hare Cairn. A high deer fence, newly renovated, protects the forest. There is a ride, used by Glenmarkie's horses between the dense forest and the fence. The moorland side is populated by nesting curlews.
The view takes in Glenmarkie Lodge, farm, forest and high Mounth with Mayar and Driesh (far right) as the highest hills on the horizon.
