Meall Each is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The lower slopes are covered in heather, while higher altitudes feature hardy grasses and mosses. The hill provides a habitat for various bird species, including golden eagles, peregrine falcons, and ptarmigans.

Col between Sgurr Dubh and Meall Each The majority of walkers climbing Slioch will gain this col before going round below Sgurr Dubh - behind the photographer - into the Coire na Sleaghaich. The picture looks roughly east across the col, with peaks of the Fannichs range in the distance.

Looking down Coire na Sleaghaich Most ascents of Slioch will pass through this corrie. The highest parts of the mountain lie behind the photographer and the picture looks down the Coire na Sleaghaich, past the shoulder of Sgurr Dubh, towards the summit of Beinn a Mhuinidh beyond.

Ridge between Slioch and Sgurr an Tuill Bhain From the summit of Sgurr an Tuill Bhain, the picture looks roughly west along the ridge that joins this summit to the north, highest top of Slioch. This ridge becomes quite well-defined in the middle, as seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1684107">NH0168 : "Wait for me, mum..."</a>. Loch Maree lies beyond.

Looking across Coire na Sleaghaich The picture looks south from the summit of Sgurr an Tuill Bhain across Slioch's big corrie, the Coire na Sleaghaich. Slioch's trig point and actual summit are just off the right of the picture.

Feral goats above Coire na Sleaghaich I came across these goats on the lower slopes of Sgurr an Tuill Bhain, east and south of the summit. They seem to be commonplace around Loch Maree and were actually the second party I met on a day traversing Slioch. The left-hand one has lost a horn.

Rowan and old wall The remnants of an old wall can be seen heading downhill away from the rowan. Rowans are often found growing by ruined dwelling places - I believe they were thought to ward off malign influences. Cliffs of Beinn a' Mhuinidh are seen behind, across Gleann Bianasdail.
