A view of the River Dee, looking south from the second highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms. The near peak with the glistening slabs on the right is The Devil's Point (a munro in its own right at 1004m but dwarfed by Macdui's 1309m) with Beinn Bhrotain behind. The roof of Corrour bothy is just visible over the boulders in the foreground, to the right of the river. The range in the distance is Beinn a' Ghlo.
