Sgurr an Airgid (Silver Peak)
![]() From the car park - presumably the top is up there somewhere. |
![]() The Clan MacRae WWI Memorial at Cnoc-a-Clachan overlooking Clachan Duich Burial Ground. |
![]() And looking across Loch Duich to Friday's hill - Sgurr Mhic Bharraich |
![]() Ascending the good stalkers path, looking back to Loch Duich, Sgurr Mhic Bharraich, and the Saddle to the left. |
![]() Top of the stalkers path, and a bit flatter before the next rise.Village of Ratagan over there, with Beinn Sgritheall and related Corbetts behind. |
![]() And from the same point but looking up Gleanne Lichd, with Beinn Fhada on the left, and Ciste Dubh at the back. I have cut out the Five Sisters on the right, as I was getting bored of looking at them! Great bit of the world for hills. |
![]() Top of Sgurr an Airgid - a bit broken but never mind. Skye off in the distance. And the Skye bridge is down there too. |
![]() More hills all around |
![]() Similar to the above snap looking up Gleanne Lichd, but the Five Sisters are now included in the middle, and a bit of Glen Sheil and all those hills. |
![]() Looking west, with Sgurr Mhic Bharraich front left, then the distant hills of Knoydart, and Beinn nan Caorach and Beinn na h-Eglise to the left of Beinn Sgritheall. Magnificent |
![]() Wider view of all the above, and more. Makes it worth all the effort. |
![]() From the end of the ridge the views of Skye (and Rum) and the bridge were even better. |
![]() From the end of the ridge, looking back to the summit. Well worth the extra effort. |
![]() On the way back the views were equally as good. Middle left is A Glas Bhein which was a fine walk, the rest have mostly already been mentioned above. |
