  Mor 
  (3651), 
  beyond 
  which 
  we 
  pass 
  Beinn 
  Bhrotain 
  (3795) 
  on 
  

   the 
  left, 
  and 
  keep 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  Allt 
  Dhaidh 
  Mor 
  — 
  a 
  feeder 
  

   of 
  the 
  Geldie 
  — 
  from 
  its 
  source 
  for 
  some 
  distance. 
  Leaving 
  

   this 
  streamlet, 
  our 
  way 
  leads 
  along 
  the 
  highest 
  ground 
  to 
  

   the 
  source 
  of 
  another 
  tributary 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  burn, 
  and 
  then 
  

   holds 
  slightly 
  westward 
  along 
  the 
  watershed 
  between 
  Glen 
  

   Peshie 
  and 
  Glen 
  Geldie, 
  and, 
  after 
  skirting 
  the 
  head-waters 
  

   of 
  the 
  latter, 
  we 
  continue 
  in 
  an 
  almost 
  straight 
  course 
  to 
  

   Cam 
  an 
  Fhidhleir 
  (Cairn 
  Ealar) 
  (3276). 
  Glen 
  Geldie 
  is 
  a 
  

   long, 
  rather 
  wide 
  valley, 
  flanked 
  by 
  heath 
  - 
  covered 
  hills. 
  

   It 
  has, 
  however, 
  neither 
  tree 
  nor 
  bush 
  ; 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  solitary 
  

   wilderness 
  with 
  scarcely 
  a 
  sign 
  of 
  life 
  and 
  without 
  one 
  

   redeeming 
  feature 
  to 
  recommend 
  it. 
  

  

  From 
  Cairn 
  Ealar 
  we 
  turn 
  sharply 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  to 
  

   the 
  summit 
  of 
  An 
  Sgarsoch 
  (3300), 
  from 
  whose 
  north 
  

   side 
  rise 
  Allt 
  a' 
  Chaorruinn 
  and 
  Allt 
  Coire 
  an 
  t-Seilich, 
  

   tributaries 
  of 
  the 
  Geldie. 
  From 
  Sgarsoch 
  we 
  proceed 
  

   south 
  - 
  east 
  - 
  by 
  - 
  south 
  to 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  Braigh 
  Coire 
  Caochan 
  

   nan 
  Laogh, 
  at 
  the 
  north 
  base 
  of 
  which 
  rises 
  the 
  

   Bynack 
  Burn; 
  and 
  from 
  this 
  hill 
  our 
  line 
  turns 
  to 
  the 
  

   north-north-east 
  over 
  Coire 
  an 
  Loch 
  (2457), 
  thence 
  east 
  to 
  

   Sron 
  a' 
  Bhoididh 
  (2131), 
  where 
  rises 
  Allt 
  an 
  t-Seilich, 
  

   which 
  joins 
  Bynack 
  Burn, 
  near 
  Bynack 
  Lodge, 
  and 
  onward 
  

   in 
  the 
  same 
  direction 
  to 
  Carn 
  Bhac 
  (3014). 
  To 
  the 
  north- 
  

   ward 
  of 
  this, 
  Glen 
  Ey 
  Forest 
  lies 
  between 
  us 
  and 
  the 
  Dee, 
  

   a 
  wide 
  expanse 
  of 
  mountain, 
  moor, 
  and 
  glen 
  — 
  a 
  wild, 
  heathy, 
  

   almost 
  trackless 
  region. 
  Here 
  the 
  watershed 
  turns 
  to 
  the 
  

   south-south-east 
  and 
  the 
  south, 
  to 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  Beinn 
  Iutharn 
  

   Mhor 
  (3424), 
  and 
  then 
  to 
  the 
  east, 
  passing 
  the 
  north 
  end 
  

   of 
  Loch 
  nan 
  Eun 
  (whose 
  waters 
  form 
  Allt 
  Easgaidh, 
  and 
  

   find 
  their 
  way 
  into 
  the 
  Tay), 
  with 
  Beinn 
  Iutharn 
  Bheag 
  

   (3011) 
  on 
  our 
  left 
  or 
  north 
  side. 
  Still 
  steering 
  mainly 
  

   eastward, 
  we 
  reach 
  Carn 
  Geoidh 
  (3194) 
  and 
  Cairnwell 
  

   (3059). 
  By 
  the 
  way, 
  on 
  our 
  left, 
  lies 
  Loch 
  Brothachan, 
  a 
  

  

  mountain 
  lochlet 
  whose 
  waters 
  join 
  Baddoch 
  Burn,
