Blà Bheinn, from the summit of Sgurr nan Gillean. Blà Bheinn is one of a group of hills known as the Cuillin Outliers.
The prominent glen in the middle distance is Glen Sligachan, which runs into Strath na Crèitheach just beyond the two small lochans. The river is the River Sligachan.
The rounded hill in the left middle distance is Marsco, one of the Red Cuillin; the smaller rounded hill to the right is Ruadh Stac.
The jagged peak just to the left of Blà Bheinn is Clach Glas; the pointed peak to the left of Clach Glas is Garbh-bheinn.
