Beinn a' Mhuil

Jetty on Loch Seaforth There are power lines running down to this hut and jetty, and there is a satellite dish as well. I have no idea what sort of industry goes on here by the side of Loch Seaforth, so I have just tagged it as Industry. (The jetty is more active in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2499158">NB2112 : Slipway & Jetty Loch Seaforth</a>.) The land on the other side of the Loch is in the square as well. All the rock here is Lewisian Gneiss - a particularly dark specimen lies split in the foreground.
