Skye Gallery 2
View north-west from the summit of Blà Bheinn, on a hazy summer day.
To the right of centre are the Red Cuillin: from L-R Ruadh Stac, Marsco, Beinn Dearg Mheadhonach, Sgurr Mhairi (the highest point of Glamaig), and Beinn Dearg Mhòr.
The glen to the left of centre is Strath na Crèitheach, which runs into Glen Sligachan just beyond the two small lochans. The river is the River Sligachan.
On the skyline to the left are the jagged peaks of the main ridge of the Cuillin.
