10 This stretch of hillside has this view as a backdrop behind you - over Loch Neldricken to Benyellary and the Merrick. It is strewn with granite boulders of all shapes and sizes left by the retreating ice age thousands of years ago. This is one of the more spectacular ones and sitting as it does at the top of the first steady climb from the lochside it's profile is very distinctive as a marker to make for as you ascend. the picture below is just a fun shot but it does show the scale of the boulder as we look south.
