View towards Clashnessie I took this view to show the contrast between the rough, knobbly and boggy country of the Lewisian gneiss with the relatively gentle green slopes seen in the distance, where gneiss gives way to Torridonian Sandstones. One or two of the houses at Clashnessie are visible in the distance.

Sheepfold by the track Unsure of which grid square this feature should be in, it was wisest to photograph it from NC0629 as the fold/fank appears to be mostly in this square. If there is a relatively large sheepfold here, then the question is, where are the sheep? None were seen on the walk in from the road and one suspects that there are none in this area as the grazing is very poor.

Old peat track east of Stoer This track is signposted as a 'peat track' [or peat path/road] from the roadside in Stoer, and it appears that other communities in the area such as Clachtoll and Culkein also had peat tracks leading into the back of beyond and made for the transportation of peat or turf for fuel. No sign of any old peat cuttings anywhere on this walk.
