The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

S3680 - Jura
NR498749, LR60 & LR61. HISTORY Pillar completed 28th May 1946 costing £42.7s.6d. Computed as primary triangulation station PP392 within figure 6 of the OSGB36 network during 1951. This station was also used for the reconnaissance of secondary blocks NR55 (Islay) in 1957, and NM52 (Mull) during 1960. Levelled to second class precision in 1957 along with the triangulation of the neighbouring secondary and tertiary pillars of secondary block NR55, Islay. Last maintained by the OS in May 1979. SITE VISIT Overall approach from southeast. Parking to NW side of A846 just north of bridge at NR522720. Unmapped on the OS maps but indicated on the WalkHighlands map is a footpath which follows the south side of the Corran River as far as Loch an t Siob. Crossing the rover over stepping stones where the Loch flows into the river, the path then continues westwards along the north bank of the loch. Continued to the bealach at NR296740, then turned right (northwards) and climbed directly to the summit. The pillar is in a wind shelter and in good condition. Spider centre plugged with tar. Flush bracket faces southwest, compass measurement 225°. The right sight hole is buried but was presumably open to vent the pillar as the other three are plugged. The panoramic view was lost to low cloud on the day of visit.

The Paps of Jura engraved around 1772
The Paps of Jura are three mountains on the island of Jura on the west coast of Scotland. The engraving shows ‘sheelins’ or shieling huts which are small dwellings of stone or turf occupied on a seasonal basis by people tending animals on upland pastures. This image is included in 'Views in Scotland', a collection of engravings, but it was originally published in 'A tour in Scotland, and voyage to the Hebrides' by Thomas Pennant, 1774. Drawn by: unknown Format: engraving Image reference: DP098226 See more images of the Paps of Jura: canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/274554/" rel="nofollow canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/274554/ © RCAHMS
