Lone pine on East Mealour This small hillock appears to derive its name from the Gaelic Meall Odhar ('the rounded, dun-coloured hill'). Part of the Ben Lawers group is visible in the background - the small sharp peak of An Stuc and the bulkier Meall Garbh.

Hydro-electric dam below Meall Garbh The dam, on the Lawers Burn, blends in reasonably well. The shiny metal railings on the left seem a bit more intrusive. Photographed at around noon on a crisp, bright late February day.
