Beinn Bhreac Summit

The summit of Beinn Bhreac looking east to the vast bulk of Beinn a' Bhuird. Beinn Bhreac means speckled hill, presumably as the summit area is covered in boulders and will look 'speckled' from a distance.

Dead Trees Above Glen Derry

These 2 trees have reached the end of their lives in amongst the heather but Glen Derry has plenty of natural regeneration to replace them.

Small lochan, not much more than a pool, nestling in the col between Beinn Bhreac and Meall an Lundain.

Source of Beinne Brice

If you descend Beinn Bhreac by the most common route, you may well come across this brightly coloured patch of mosses, at the source of the strangely named Beinne Brice.

Rockiness at summit of Beinn Bhreac

Rock exposures at the summit of Beinn Bhreac, both bare rock at the surface and scattered boulders. Beinn a' Chaorainn and Beinn a' Chaorainn Bheag are the two distant mountains.

Coire Gorm, south-south-east of Beinn Bhreac's summit

A corrie not given a name on any current map, but named as Coire Gorm in the Scottish Mountaineering Club's guide to the Cairngorms by Adam Watson, who has amassed knowledge of hundreds of place names in this area through research and through speaking with stalkers and other hill folk in the area over many decades. Beinn a' Bhuird is in the background
