    Across Strathmore to the brooding clouds over the Sidlaws and Dundee    25/2/10

    Carn a Gheoidh (975m), Schiehallion (1083m - just visible), Glas Tulachean (1051m), Carn an Righ (1029m), Beinn Lutharn Mor (1045m)    18/2/10

    Four of the nine 4000ft hills visible in 1 shot.  Bod an Deamhain (Devil's Point (for Queen Victoria's blushes actually meaning Devil's Penis) - 1007m the craggy looking slope backed hill in the distance) looking puny in front of Cairn Toul (1291m #4) and Braeriach (1295m #3)  to the west of the Lairig Ghru; with to the east, Ben MacDui (Beinn MacDuibh - 1309m #2), Derry Cairngorm (1155m), Beinn Mheadhoin (pr. ben vane - 1182m), Cairngorm (1245m #6), and on the far right Beinn a Bhuird (1197m),  just to name the most obvious  (taken from Carn Aosda at only 917m high).  The fifth 4000ft hill Sgorr an Lochan Uaine (sharp peak of the little green loch or Angel's Peak - 1258m) is behind Cairn Toul, the four others are around Ben Nevis.    18/2/10    Note:  the average height of those visible 4 above at 1285m is higher than the Ben Nevis 4 at 1255m.  This is probably the reason why Ben MacDui was long considered to be the highest hill in Britain until the advent of more precise cartography.
