Ben MacDhui in September 



Cairngorms were clear to the tops. In Coire an Lochan of 

 Braeriach several snow fields of the previous winter still 

 lingered, and even in one of the westerly corries of Cairn- 

 gorm the snow had not all melted. In the windless air the 

 murmur of the Bennaidh carried far, and with the coming of 

 night the stars shone forth, and over the countryside there 

 formed a white frosty mist.
