Description

Cairn Toul is the fourth highest mountain in Scotland, surpassed only by Ben Nevis, Ben Macdui and Braeriach. It is the second highest point in the western massif of the Cairngorms, linked by a bealach at around 1125 m above sea level to Braeriach. The mountain towers above the western side pass of the Lairig Ghru. Cairn Toul is oftern climbed on conjution with other peaks. From the south it may be combined with The Devil's Point, which lies about 2.5 kilometres south-southeast. Alternatively it may be climbed from the north, including Braeriach and Sgor an Lochain Uaine. Both routes are long days by Scottish standards: around 15 km (plus return) regardless of whether one starts from Coire Cas above Speyside, or Linn of Dee to the south. The mountain may also be climbed from the west, starting from Achlean in Glen Feshie. This provides for a slighter shorter route (around 27 km for the round trip), thought the walker must negotiate a large expanse of undulating boggy plateau in order to reach the Breariach-Cairn Toul massif. Thanks for viewing.

Maybe someone will fly me to the top so I can look over the expanse :) That's huge Rob... but also an outstanding moving render. Beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Your foreground is perfect in conjunction with the addition. Excellent atmosphere (perfect scottish mist.. ) Excellent render.
