Lunch with a View What a place for lunch - these 3 climbers are enjoying a well earned rest and snack on the summit of Ben Lawers. You can see the other 3 mountains of An Stuc, Meall Garbh and Meall Greigh that make up the fine circuit round Lochan nan Cat from Lawers. The east end of Loch Tay can also be seen.
