Looking back at the day's Munros, Glen Lyon, Scotland
Two weeks hiking in Scotland. Day 3 above Glen Lyon. Starting from near Invervar, we hiked up and over 4 Munros, Carn Gorm, Maell Garb, Carn Mairg and Maell na Aighean. After a cold, cloudy start we had a wonderful sunny day. Spectacular views to Schiehallion and the Cairngorms to the north and east, the Lawers group of hills to the south and to Glen Lyon below.

Hills above Invervar
On the way back down to Invervar after the circuit of the four Càrn Mairg munros. The start of the route heads up the peak in the distance (Carn Gorm) above the forestry plantation. This cairn was tucked away on the hillside below Meall nan Aighean, overlooking Gleann Pollaidh. No idea what it signifies or commemorates. It wasn't visible from the main path and had no inscription or plaque, but it seemed old and well-built, definitely not your standard 'route-marker' type cairn.
