Moorland track This track loops around the slope of Creag an Sgliata. Taken on a misty day when nothing could be seen in the distance.

Creag an Sgliata Looking up moorland slopes from the ruined shielings beside the River Quoich. Gone are the grassy slopes above Garrow. Now it is heather and bog and the deer probably outnumber the sheep.

Deer grazing beneath Carn na Goibhre Glen Quaich is home to a large herd of red deer, as well as there being a hare behind every tussock.

Reentrant, Carn na Goibhre Very little water flows here, despite the obvious appearance of a burn course. What seems to have happened is that a cross drain was dug, intercepting the water in the bogs upstream, and that the drain has become the burn shown on the maps, leaving this gully system almost dry. The zigzag bulldozed road on Carn na Gaibhre can be seen above, somewhat foreshortened.

River Quaich A set of waterfalls where the burn leaves Coire Quaich for the glen. As is often the case, footpath erosion by deer leads unerringly to the best place to cross the gully and burn. There are also no go areas for deer, and there are trees here, safe on steep ground from browsing.

Headwaters of the Quaich Following easier grassland beside a tributary of the Quaich. The rock outcrop is unusual for this side of the glen, there being little exposed rock. Taken approaching the 600m col at the head of Glen Quaich.

Grouse butts, Glen Quaich A line of dilapidated butts along a strip of wetland under A' Ghuiseid. The vivid green of the grass shows an area too wet for heather.

Leud a' Ghrianain Once over the col from Glen Quaich into the Acharn Glen, the vegetation changes from heather to mostly grassland. Looking across damp slopes to the head of the Acharn Glen and Creagan na Beinne

Allt an t-Sùigh Burn running into the Acharn Burn. The marks are patches of old silage, round bales were used here for stock feeding. I have seen cattle grazing on the other side of Beinn Bhreac from here, and the glen is grassy. No sign of cattle today though.
