The Atholl Beinn Dearg

This hill, although high is often rather retiring in views but really stands out from the south of Glen Errochty. The summit is a light pink in colour due to the granite but I have only ever visited it in Winter.

Rounded boulders at summit area of Beinn Dearg

Beinn Dearg, meaning red hill is a fairly common name around the Highland mountains; this example is one of the more remote of them. The name comes from the pink granite boulders which cover the summit area and lie in rashes over the surrounding ground. In the distance, on the horizon, is the range of Beinn a' Ghlo which has three Munros. Nearer are two long ridges, those of Carn a' Chlamain and Beinn Mheadhonach.

Rocks at top of Sliabh na Cloiche Moire

The barren rocky top of a minor knoll of Beinn Dearg, south-south-west of the summit, at around 930 metres in height. It appears to be known as Sliabh na Cloiche Moire which apparently translates to English as St. Mary's Mountain. The main mountain is seen in the distance.

Rounded boulders on Beinn Gharbh

Beinn Gharbh is a northern top of the Munro, Beinn Dearg, its summit area is covered with rounded boulders of pink granite.

Moorland below Beinn Gharbh

Wet moorland below Beinn Gharbh. Usually hill walkers find the quality of ground underfoot decreases with height and this is certainly the case when dropping north from Beinn Dearg towards the Tarf Water, as close cropped heather gives way to rough grassland, which gives way to deep heather and peat haggs.
