We had magnificent views all day. Here is the view of The Cobbler with Beinn Narnain on the left seen from the summit of Beinn Luibhean.
Turning round to look southwest we see Gleann Mor between Ben Donich (left) and Beinn an Lochain (right)
Looking to the north we could see Ben Nevis (extreme left), Beinn a’ Chleibh to the left of Ben Lui (with a wisp of cloud) and then Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig. Finally, much nearer, we have Beinn Chorranach
