Sunrise in Ballachulish. We had dinner at the Laroch the night before

The day starts out *much* more promising. I'm not sure, but that's
probably the Nevis Range in the morning sun.

We spent the entire day exploring Glencoe in much greater detail
than we've ever done before. At this point, we hiked up the side
of the Aonach Eagach (o:nuch egg:uch - the notched heights or ridge.
Loch Achtriochtan (a:ch tree:ochkin - locally thought to be "field
of the three streams") and Achtriocton cottage is behind him. I'm
not sure if the ridge here has a name, perhaps An t-Sron (an trawn
- the nose)

Looking south across Rannoch Mor, on the eastern edge of Glencoe.
Not sure of the names of these mountains - perhaps Stob na Broige
and Ben Starav?
