Knoll on western slopes Sgorr nam Faoileann Long moorland slopes rise from the vicinity of Storakaig towards Sgorr nam Faoileann; there are many knolls in the area and this image was recorded from one of them. Beinn Dubh, beyond is sunlit; the more distant cloud-shadowed mountain is probably Dubh Bheinn on Jura.
