Plateau east of summit of Creag Meagaidh A casual glance at OS maps of the area could lead one to suppose that the summit of Creag Meagaidh is somewhere on the large expanse of upland seen in this image. However, this plateau lies east of the summit which is higher (of course), and has a prominent mound and cairn; it lies behind the camera position.

Summit ridge of Creag Meagaidh The summit ridge of Creag Meagaidh is seen here heading south-west with snow wreaths at the rim of the downfall to the south side of the mountain. The dark ridge in the mid-distance is that of the Munro Beinn a' Chaorainn; the distant heavily snow-patched mountains are the peaks of the Grey Corries.

Snow banks in stream groove draining into Moy Corrie The stream has its origin at a tiny lochan between the outlying tops of Creag Meagaidh - Puist Coire Ardair and Meall Coire Choille-rais. The two banks would likely have been one and the appearance is that the nearer one has fallen following the sort of undercutting by the stream that's apparent for the further bank.

Summit of An Cearcallach An Cearcallach is a subsidiary summit of Creag Meagaidh; the summit area is grassy with the well made cairn being not quite at the highest point which instead is an inclined rock slab. The mountains in the distance are Stob Coire Sgriodain and Chno Dearg.

Allt nan Cearcall The Allt nan Cearcall drains the valley between two southern outliers of Creag Meagaidh - An Cearcallach and Meall Coire Choille-rais. At and just above the camera position the stream can be seen to be flowing in an interesting in-cut slot.
