View towards Loch Maree From the start of the Slattadale path. Beinn Airigh Charr is the mountain in the centre, one of the few tops not in cloud on this dullish but dry day.

Stream with heathery knolls A fine path connects the A832 east of Loch Tollaidh with Slatterdale, heading south close to the Allt an Leth-chreige. The stream seen here is a tributary of that stream entering it from the south-west.

Perched boulders on rock outcrop of Creag Mhòr Thollaidh Creag Mhòr Thollaidh is an immensely rocky mountain, particularly when viewed from the north. From its summit (a modest 343m), a series on knolls of decreasing height heads south, many of them rocky and many having perched sandstone boulders upon their native pale grey rock. The distant mountain is Beinn Airaigh Charr which lies on the far side of Loch Maree.

Path connecting Poolewe with Slatterdale In truth the path connects the A832 near to Poolewe with Slatterdale but the route is a fine one and the path gives easy walking. The view is from the highest point on the crossing looking towards Poolewe with Creag Mhor Thollaidh the peak in view.
