Loch Eck and Bernice From Glenshellish
This is a photo that I've wanted to take for a while. I was sure that the pass in the mountains that I saw from Glenshellish overlooked Bernice and Loch Eck and eventually I got to fly my drone out to confirm this.

Trig Point - Beinn Mhor Oct 2017
Beinn Mhòr is most frequently and probably most easily ascended from the South, via the end of the public road into Glen Massan. From here, there is a short hike to Glen Massan, followed by about 400 metres of ascent up forestry tracks and paths, from which the climber eventually emerges onto the open hillside. At this point, the climber returning by the same route should note the position, as there are no paths above this point and entering the forest by any other point could mean getting lost in steep and thickly forested terrain. Despite the lack of paths, the upper slopes are gentle and mostly short grass which provide easy ascent to the summit. An alternative longer route ascends from the car park of Benmore Botanic Garden, with a track leading up to the steep grassy slopes of A' Cruach and the secondary tops of Creachan Beag and Creachan Mòr to a wide shoulder leading to the summit of Beinn Mhòr itself. You generally will not see another soul up here, luvly. Elevation: 2,431ft. Taken with an Olympus OMD-EM5 and a 12-40mm f2.8.
