Boggy and rocky Often in this type of country, getting up onto a bit of high ground reveals a lochan or just a little pool to add a bit of interest. Not here. The high ground is on the lower slopes of Beinn Sgarastaigh, but with a summit height of 98 m, and difficult navigation through peat hags, no one is likely to get excited about it.
