Crookna Water Crookna Water is a shallow and rather sterile looking loch with Ronas Hill rising into the mist behind it. There is a lot of fine peat silt in the loch from the erosion on the slopes of the White Grunnafirth.

Mid Summer at Abram's Ward After summiting on nearby Ronas Hill for midnight at mid summer it was such a glorious evening I took a walk over to this cairn arriving at 0110. It only became necessary to use a torch to read the map and get a compass bearing around the hillside to Collafirth Hill where I had parked my motorbike. I was told this has been the best midsummer evening in over 20 years. What a way to spend an evening.
