Looking towards Loch Lomond from Creag an t-Seilich The featureless hillside in the foreground typifies the terrain of the Luss Hills. An indistinct path leads walkers over Creag an t-Seilich towards the top of Beinn Dubh. Islands of Loch Lomond lie behind: Fraoch Eilean small in the foreground, Inchtavannach and Inchconnachan behind it, Inchmoan and Inchruin behind them at the left.

Peat hags on Beinn Dubh The peat hags lie on the north side of the very broad, flat ridge that runs north-west from the summit of Beinn Dubh. Although the day was hazy, Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond can be seen behind.

Wee waterfall in Glen Striddle burn One of the burns that falls steeply into Glen Striddle passes over some rocks here and has developed a wee waterfall (maybe fifteen feet high). The skyline where the burn has its origins can just be seen beyond the top of the waterfall.

Tributary flows into Glen Striddle burn I was unable to track down a name for the burn that runs along the floor of Glen Striddle - Allt Glen Striddle? Anyway this shows the point where one of the tributaries that run down the steep hillside from Beinn Dubh meet this burn.
