Cairn on Meall nam Fuaran ('rounded hill of the springs') The summit plateau here is a maze of grassy islands amongst peat bogs - this small cairn seems to mark the summit. The hill itself is something of a rounded lump, but has a population of mountain hares and red deer and views to the higher and more shapely peaks of Ben Lawers, Schiehallion and the Glen Lyon hills.

Green lochan The name of the lochan further downstream - Lochan Uaine - means green lochan in Gaelic, however this body of water had a more pronounced greenish tinge, similar to if not quite as striking as the green lochans found in the Cairngorms.

Rodent trap Increasing numbers of these appear to be used in grouse shooting areas. The trap is positioned on a plank offering a crossing over a burn - any rodent utilising this is forced to pass over the jaws of the trap. I am not sure which species are the target of these devices. The mesh cover is presumably to protect birds.
