Lairig an Laoigh
Looking north up the Lairig an Laoigh mountain pass through the Cairngorms. Not quite as famous or grand, perhaps, as the Lairig Ghru, but just as wild and remote. The water in the distance is Dubh Lochan, just south of the Fords Of Avon. Beinn Mheadhoin (with its summit tors) is the peak on the left, with Beinn a' Chaorainn up to the right.

Notes
- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
