Coniferous plantation with cabin in Coire na Fuaraig The cabin is leaning and is presumably out of current use; it's on the north side of a forest ride with a thin but clear path.

Forest road climbing towards Coire na Fuaraig The road is on the north side of a minor hill, Tom a' Chor and is climbing to the east. It's clearly a forestry road and will probably have served as access for a gravel pit but its current major use must be by mountain bikers.

Some sort of trap on the moor ? Within the cage there is a tube of netting open at both ends, suspended from the roof, open to the sky, and stopping about a foot from the ground

A beautiful specimen of a favourite toadstool. This is the Fly Agaric or Amanita muscaria. It's a most familiar toadstool first coming to our attention in children's books. It is highly poisonous, charged with muscimol and muscarino, one hallucinogenic and the other sweat inducing. I'm afraid you don't get a choice as to which one kicks in first!
