How the Cairngorms looks this week
16/12/2009
This is a view up the catchment of the Allt a 'Mharcaidh. On the right is Geall Carn (920 m) and in the centre the highest summit, Sgoran Dubh Mor (1111 m). These summits are often obscured by cloud. Tree colonisation due to reduced levels of deer grazing is an important feature of the site. The saplings in the foreground are about 12 years old. The target sample site is on the ridge to the left of the photograph, at 700 m.
