On the northern side of Meall a' Phubuill Looking down into the very uppermost reaches of Glen Mallie. The burns draining Coire a' Chaorainn on the flanks of Gulvain are most prominent in the background; these actually fall into Glen Fionnlighe and eventually to Loch Eil in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NM9679">NM9679</a>

The ridge looking along a narrow section from the higher north top. Loch Sheil in the distance.
East side of Gulvain Unlike most of the hill, a reasonably easy slope. Uniform grass. Glimpse of Loch Arkaig visible down Glen Mallie.

Ruighe nam Fiadh The slopes of Gulvain fall towards the indeterminate col between Glen Mallie and Gleann Fionnlighe. The obvious scar to the left is the Allt Ruighe nam Fiadh, which is a big headwater of the Mallie, although it appears possible that in some circumstances its water can escape the peaty maze down Glen Mallie. The scar to the right is a bulldozed road from Fassfearn and is an alternative route into Gulvain to Glen Fionnlighe.
