Summit area, Hill of Foudland The highest point of the hill is probably within this picture. The far tump is a vegetated ruin, so does not count. It is always hard spotting the top on quarried hills. There is a triangulation pillar to the left.

Road, Hill of Foudland The road serves the communication masts on the hill. The view includes Tillymorgan Hill, which has also been quarried for slate and the A96's notorious Glens of Foudland section, infamous for snow drifts. No danger today, the temperature was 11°C.
