Coire Boidheach in winter During winter, a narrowing of the coire fills with deep snow, and large cornices form. In February 2023, there was less snow than usual, exposing the stream which would normally be buried under many feet of snow at this time of year

Coire Boidheach in winter A narrowing of Coire Boidheach on the plateau catches snow, and the resulting cornices cast shadow making the coire more readily visible from distance. In summer, the terrain is boggy and unremarkable: was the original meaning of the name "beautiful corrie" conceived in summer or winter?

List of Hills Visible from Lochnagar, Aberdeenshire This stone indicator shows the direction and distance of the most important peaks that can be seen in clear weather from the summit of Lochnagar (1155 m, 3786 ft). Most notable, perhaps, are The Cheviot in England (105 miles to the south) and Morven in Caithness (88 miles to the north). Morven is only a matter of 20 miles or so from the north coast of Britain, which means that from this one spot it is possible to see almost the length (and the breadth) of mainland Scotland. The stone indicator was made by Doulton & co., Lambeth, London and was erected by the Cairngorm Club, Aberdeen 1924. Although heavily chipped, the indicator is not in bad condition, considering it has spent nearly a century on top of a Scottish mountain.
