Canna and Rum to the south (I can't abide Seton Gordon's
Ungaelic [underlined], Greek "Rhum", the Highlander calling it Roma) & about 2/3 of the Cuillin to the E.S.E.
from the "Pinnacles" to Sgurr Dearg, between which and
Banachdraich a little thumb shows up - Sgurr
Mhic Coinnich [sic]. The sight was of course too much
for Isabella & we climbed Bruach na Frithe
from the Glenbrittle road - Oh those roads!
rutted, pock-marked, narrow, twisty.
We were 'definitely' (the [underlined] word with the young nowadays)
too far away & that & a subsequent ascent
of Sgurr nan Gillean by the tourist route and
a scamper up Glamaig was all we were
able to do in that line.

The other things that stand out in my memory are
the wonderful promotories and headlands
from which we had at least 5 fine views.
Rubha Hunish in Trotternish from which
something near Cape Wrath was visible
