Bog, A' Bhuidheanach The Bhuidheanach plateau is mostly dry gravelly terrain, but there are many peaty areas and deep bogs. This one was quite an obstacle. The soundtrack to these places is the call of the golden plover.

Glas Mheall Mòr Most munro baggers wandering the A' Bhuidheanach plateau turn for home or Carn na Caim at A' Bhuidheanach Bheag. The few that come this far have yet to wear away the moss from around the small cairn. It could have been different, as this was considered a separate hill in early editions of the tables.
