Old walls south of Loch Bruicheach I am not sure if these walls were built to protect the trees planted here or if they are the last remains of an isolated settlement.

Moorland track past Loch nam Breac Dearga The track runs along the side of Loch nam Breac Dearga. The hill behind is Meall nan Caorach.
On a rather cold day, some patches of ice on the loch and on the track.

Loch nam Breac Dearga is probably from the Gaelic for "Loch of the red trout".

Moorland track, descending towards a lochan The track runs down past the end of the lochan, then swings round to climb up the hill opposite.
This looks like a fairly large lochan, on a tributary of the Allt Poll an t-Searraich. Though it seems the lochan isn't marked on any of the OS maps.

This was a rather cold day, with frost on the track, and patches of ice on the lochan.

On Meall nan Caorach Meall nan Caorach has a wide flat summit, covered by rough heather. There is a small stone cairn (on the right), which may mark the highest point.
