Abhainn Ghearadha (Garry River) Abhainn Ghearadha drains a gentle boggy glen on to Tràigh Ghearadha (Garry Beach). This is the view of the river from Lord Leverhulme&#039;s <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2423596">NB5350 : A Bridge to Nowhere</a>.

Abandoned Vehicle This looks like the remains of one of those little 4wd things with roll-over bars. Presumably it expired or got irrevocably stuck in the bog here on Cnocan Ruairidh, and, not being visible from the public road, has escaped the attention of the council&#039;s collectors of rusting metal.

Nameless Glen The map doesn&#039;t name this rather featureless glen, though it does manage to name the river that drains it as Abhainn Ghearadha (River Garry).

Bella Chnoc Looking across the glen of the Abhiann Ghearadha from Cnocan Ruairidh. The slope on the far side of the glen is named as Bella Chnoc on the 1:25,000 map. This is a very odd-looking name because Gaelic, at least according to my dictionary, has no words beginning &#039;b&#039; then &#039;e&#039; then a consonant.
