Abandoned vehicle, Sliabh a' Bhiorain, Argyll This vehicle has been there since at least 2009: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1430229">NR5912 : Abandoned tracked vehicle on the slopes of Sliabh a' Bhiorain</a> and probably much longer. I'm not sure how it comes to be there. I assume that it broke down irreversibly and it wasn't considered worth going to the trouble of recovering it.
