Looking towards the summit marilyn baggers know as The Fruin from just north of the summit of Tom na h-Airidh.

This cairn marks the summit of Tom na h-Airidh, which stands at a height of 354m. The photo shows a view northwards looking over the cairn. The name Tom na h-Airidh means "Knoll of the Shieling"; the name incorporates the... (more)

See also NS2886 : Tom na h-Airidh summit cairn (from the south). Covered in brown vegetation in the background (just left of centre) is an unnamed hill that stands only 2m less in height than Tom na h-Airidh; it also has a cairn, though a much smaller one, at its summit; see: NS2986 : Hilltop near Tom na h-Airidh.

I'd been here at the summit cairn before, but the visibility had been very poor. This time, I had an excellent view, and took photos in every direction from this point. The cairn and summit area of Tom na h-Airidh appear in the... (more)

The land on the other side of the fence is covered in a tangle of heather, but is made more difficult to traverse by the fact that it is crossed by closely-spaced furrows; this is because it was, until very recently, forestry land. The land... (more)

These run SW-NE over the moor.

The summit cairn itself can be seen just a few metres ahead.

It is just possible to make out the line of a dry-stone wall, 180 metres ahead, running from centre to right; it is marked on the map. A distinctive background detail is a strip of woodland in NS3088; it is centred on NS30568858,... (more)

The range of hills visible on the skyline extends from Cruach a' Bhuic (NS1693) at the far left to Beinn Chaorach (NS2892) at the far right. The most distant peak visible is exactly at the centre of the skyline, but it is... (more)

The line of the wall is marked on the 1:25000 map, which also shows that it is part of the boundary of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

There is an undulating line across the moor here, where the ground is slightly higher to the left (south), as shown here. The background hills were used to confirm view direction; the one at the centre of the skyline is Creachan Mòr... (more)

This is the opposite view to NS2886 : Moorland north of Tom na h-Airidh, and it shows the same wavy edge feature that is mentioned there. High ground at about NS291863 is in the background. To the left of that, a small dip in the line of the distant, hazy skyline... (more)

The burn begins near here, and it feeds into the one that is shown nearby on the 1:25000 map. It is shown here after some prolonged dry weather. The stones in the bed of the burn are mainly a kind of slate with a shiny surface, pebbles of... (more)

The fences (and their junction here) are shown on the 1:25000 map. The fence that is shown receding into the distance is also marked on the map as being part of the boundary of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park; the National Park... (more)
