The first of the two munros on Beinn Alligin, with a huge cliff on its eastern side. Amazing views.

The long ascent is rewarded with spectacular views.

The high point of the Beinn Eighe range, but straight forward climb to reach it.

The high point of the ridge with amazing views in all directions. Next come the pinnacles.

Spidean a'Choire Leith is the higher of the two Munro summits on Liathach. It is usually the first one climbers reach and marks the beginning of the airy pinnacles of An Fasarinen which connect Spidean a'Choire Lèith to Mullach an Rathain, the second and slightly lower Munro summit. Crossing the Am Fasarine pinnacle is a Grade II scramble and should only be attempted by those with the skills and a good head for heights. Most of the more difficult parts can be avoided by bypass paths on the south side but these still have considerable exposure. In winter conditions, all of Liathach becomes a serious Scottish winter mountaineering adventure.

Tom na Gruagaich is the lower of the two Munro summits on Beinn Alligin and is easily reached via the good path up Coire nan Laogh. The continuation path to Sgurr Mòr the highest Munro summit is straightforward.

Beautiful gardens created by the visionary Osgood Mackenzie in the mid nineteenth century, these gardens have a woodland shelter belt to protect the main gardens from the worst of the wind and weather. Always worth a visit, they are now well maintained by the National Trust for Scotland.

One path is currently still closed after the storm in January. Really big trees were uprooted!
