	Suilven 17 1152 x 864 254K	A more classic view of Suilven, as seen from the same footpath as in the previous photo, but closer to Lochinver. The rocky surface is Lewisian gneiss, ancient rocks formed three billion years ago. Suilven is Torridonian sandstone created by giant rivers. This layer (up to seven kilometres thick) was eroded to leave mountains such as Suilven and Slioch.
	Torridon 05 1152 x 864 114K	A general view showing numerous distant peaks.
	Ullapool from Rhue 1152 x 864 117K	Clouds are gathering in the evening sky but the sun is shining here and there, particularly on Ullapool and the snowy plateau in the distance.
	Ullapool from Rhue 2 1152 x 864 147K	The same photograph but cropped to achieve a tighter composition for a more dramatic effect.
	Liathach 2 1152 x 864 103K	Looking west across Loch Clair. The eastern end of the Liathach ridge, Stuc a Choire Dhuibh Bhig towers into the clouds. A shaft of evening sunlight shines down on the loch. To the east of Liathach is Beinn Eighe, separated from it by Coire Dubh.
	Coire Dubh 03 1152 x 864 310K	This path starts next to the car park on the A896 (a single track road with passing places from Kinlochewe to Torridon). It leads to Coire Mhic Nobuil and Beinn Alligin, or if you fork right at the cairn, to Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair. In this picture Liathach is on the left and Beinn Eighe is on the right.
	Coire Dubh 13 1152 x 864 300k	Further along the path and Beinn Dearg appears in the distance. The path is part of the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve which, in turn, is part of the Torridon area in care of the National Trust for Scotland.
	Coire Dubh 16 1152 x 864 310K	This part of the path is about 200 metres higher than the start and 3 or 4 kilometres further on. This area is the watershed for the burn called Allt a Choire Dhuibh Mhoir which flows through the glen called Coire Dubh, through which the path also passes.
