Coire Ardair View On the southern slopes of the munro Carn Liath looking straight across to the dramatic Coire Ardair of Creag Meagaidh. A muggy and still summers day - so hot red deer were lying in patches of snow on the opposite hillside.

Road to Aberardair Not long before this was taken, this was a farm.  Its fate was to disappear under conifers but the land was bought as a National Nature Reserve.  Now it is being covered by different sorts of trees.

We were travelling to Lagan for the Mountain Bothies Association AGM - not having a car, going over Carn Liath was a good route.
