Grassy moorland north-east of Glas Bheinn The image was recorded from the east ridge of Glas Bheinn and is the view northwards over the moorland cut through by two streams, both named as Alltanan Dubha on OS Explorer map 355! An error? Two of the Paps of Jura are seen beyond the mid-distance ridge; Beinn a’ Chaolais, and Beinn an Oir. Beinn Mhearsamail is the lower hill close to the left side peak.
