Dramatic mountains all around, the highest in Mull. Ben More (966m) to the left, A'Chioch (867m) under a little cloud and Beinn Fhada (702m) on the right

Needs a bit more rain to make the waterfall more impressive.

The bridge that carried the old Glen More road - now redundant.

Bridge over the Allt Ghillecaluim in Glen More. The road has been rebuilt, but still as a single track road.

Allt Ghillecaluim and Beinn a' Mheadhoin

Burn running through steep grassland, basic rocks provide good growing conditions on much of Mull. Beinn a'Mheadhoin on the right.

Mountain stream

The stream is about to go down the last steep drop before arriving at the flat ground where Glen More widens and flattens as it reaches the sea (which can just be seen to the right hand side).

Coir' an t-Sailein

This is the coire on the western side of Cruachan Dearg (704m), of which the snow topped summit can just be seen.

Winter sun at head of Sleibhte-Coire

Nearing the high point on the right of way to Loch na Keil. The path is a bit of a quagmire at this time of year (perhaps it always is). The sharp summit of A' Choich can be seen to the left and Beinn Fhada to the right.

Summit of Cruachan Dearg

The view from the summit of the "Graham" (well, actually half a Graham as it is a twin with its neighbour Corra-Bheinn as both are the same height - 704m - and there is only about an 80m drop between them). The nearest water is Loch Ba and beyond that you can see the sea (the Sound of Mull), then Ardnamurchan and in the distance (top left just below the clouds) can be seen the Isle of Rum.
