Beinn Sgeireach

Aerial south-west of Beinn Sgeireach The aerial is held in place entirely by the staying cables - it stands on large baulks of wood rather than being embedded in the ground - it's perhaps a temporary construction. The distant hill is of course Beinn Sgeireach.

The stream groove descends towards the head of Coire Buidhe below Càrn nam Bò Maola, which is drained by the stream, Allt Bad na t-Sagairt. Beinn Sgeireach is the hill beyond.
Coire Buidhe Coire is used for almost any hollow in the hills, not just the classical glacial bowl. (similarly Cwm in the original Welsh can and usually means a glen as well). This cleg ridden boggy hollow is drained by the Allt Bad an t-Sagairt and is now the haunt of the reputedly canny Sika deer. Carn nam Bo-maola, the hill visible hints at there being cattle up here once.

On Beinn Sgeirich A dismal day and one of the nastiest wee walks I can remember. Bogs, oppressive heat and humidity combined with constant attacks by all manner of flies - big clegs, wee clegs, luminous eyed deer flies. Its no fun being down the food chain. Loch Sgeirich beyond - I left that for another , I had had enough.
