Grassy moorland rising to Cruach na Seilcheig Cruach na Seilcheig is a minor summit of northern Jura; it's seen here from the south, beside a stream, where the name Glaca Mine appears on larger scale maps but does not seem to refer to the watercourse itself.

Moorland north of Cruach na Seilcheig Cruach na Seilcheig is the highest of the low hills occupying the northern end of Jura. The view here is not from the summit of the hill but a rise to the south-east a few metres lower where there's a trig point. The island of Scarba off the north coast of Jura is seen beyond the Gulf of Corryvreckan.
