Corner Gully

Snow patches in Ear-choire Sneachdach, Beinn a' Bhuird Patches of snow usually linger in Ear-choire Sneachdach ('the east snowy corrie') well into summer or, occasionally, autumn. Climate change has led to a trend towards reduction in snow at this site and an earlier melt date, and there was noticeably less snow here on this day than when I passed by a week earlier. The longest of the patches has traditionally been nicknamed the Laird's Tablecloth.
