Meall a'Chaorainn has an almost flat western ridge, but the northern side has some big crags, just out of sight. Hills visible include, from the left, Slioch, Beinn Lair and the Fisherfield munros.

Dry-stone dyke, Strath Chrombuill

This substantial wall runs from the river well up the hill on the north side of the Strath. The remains of an old fence meet it on the other side of the river. This suggests to me that the wall may mark the march or boundary between two estates.
