Grassy moorland rising to Cruach na Seilcheig

Cruach na Seilcheig is a minor summit of northern Jura; it's seen here from the south, beside a stream, where the name Glaca Mine appears on larger scale maps but does not seem to refer to the watercourse itself.

Moorland with rock outcrops north from Cruach na Seilcheig

The northern end of the Isle of Jura is a mass of low hills with rock outcrops set among moorland. The view here is to the north from the highest point among those hills out over the Gulf of Corryvreckan to the island of Scarba.

Moorland north of Cruach na Seilcheig

Cruach na Seilcheig is the highest of the low hills occupying the northern end of Jura. The view here is not from the summit of the hill but a rise to the south-east a few metres lower where there's a trig point. The island of Scarba off the north coast of Jura is seen beyond the Gulf of Corryvreckan.

Moorland north of Cnoc Loch Losguinn

Cnoc Loch Losguinn is a minor hill feature of the remote moorland at the north end of Jura. The view is to islands further north with Mull far distant, Scarba the large feature at the right side of the image and the small, low isle of Eileach an Naoimh beyond the turmoil of disturbed water that is the Corryvreckan.
