Moorland with boulders and approaching walker The location is the northern end of Creag nam Brataichean where a hill track is being followed by the walker in red. The track is clear on the ground but is not marked on OS maps, probably as it is just a track, i.e. a route created by multiple passages of vehicles rather than one actually constructed.

Larch trees on eastern side of Creag nam Brataichean Creag nam Brataichean is a moorland hill with a number of coniferous trees on its upper slopes. These larches are on the eastern side; Mount Blair is seen between them in the distance.

Trees at Cray There's little at Cray other than the church which seems anyway to be out of use. The trees lie to the east of the road junction at the church where a minor road joins the B951.
