Loch Moraig Oddly, there are two bodies of water with the name, Loch Moraig, within a few hundred metres of each other; this is by far the smaller of them. The loch in view is clearly infilling and it's possible to speculate that once the two lochs were one and have become separated by that infilling process.

Road with walking party heading for Carn Liath The farm and estate road heads towards the mountain then passes on its south side; a path heads away from it to ascend Carn Liath by its south ridge. Carn Liath is of course one of three Munros of the small range of mountains known collectively as Beinn a' Ghlo.
