Allt a' Mhonaidh, Speyside This small valley is wider at its floor than others in the area and the stream meanders rather than cutting a direct route. The trees associated with the valley are also larger than in the narrower smaller valleys. On a windy day this was a noticeably more sheltered area than the nearby moorland.

Allt a' Chois, Speyside The valley of the burn runs left to right (due South) and as is common in this area is marked out by a narrow line of trees taking advantage of the shelter. The moorland is a mix of heather and tussocky grass.
