Summit area, Beinn Bhreac The highest point of the hill is a confusing area of bumps, I am unsure as to which is the highest, but the money is on the dark pointed one in the middle. There is a place name, Coraddie, I am unsure if this refers to the summit area, another top, a bog or a notch in the ridge.

Lochan na Leirg A loch near the north summit of Beinn Bhreac. The ground is more rugged than the south of the hill and the peak beyond the loch, Stùchdan Capuill, has a lot of exposed rock. The island is a nesting site for common gulls.

Small pebbly beach south of Ardbeg Point We sailed up Loch Striven for this and other photographs. The pilot is unenthusiastic "A fairly dull glen subject to fierce squalls." It was, it was! We nearly got knocked flat.
