Description: Woods alongside the Stuckiedow Burn. The woods in the middle distance form a narrow strip on either side of the Stuckiedow Burn. In those woods, the burn descends towards the floor of Glen Fruin, which is the area of low ground that runs from left to right across this photo. For the valley of the Stuckiedow Burn, see: 1301332 The far side of the glen is traversed by two roads. The closer road is also the older; the various farms in the floor of the glen lie alongside it. The newer Glen Fruin Road follows an almost parallel course, just behind it; part of that road is highlighted here by yellow gorse bushes. Visible right of centre in the background is another glen, that of the upper reaches of the Luss Water; back towards the head of that glen, a single peak, Cruach an t-Sìdhein (NS2796), can be seen through a gap. At the right-hand edge of the picture, Auchengaich Hill (NS2890) almost hides the taller Beinn Tharsuinn (NS2991). On the other side of that glen, the hills just left of centre range from the Strone (NS2692) at the near end to the more distant Beinn a' Mhanaich (NS2694). Finally, the more distant rocky peaks near the left-hand edge of the image are the Saddle (NS2296), on the left, with the larger Beinn Reithe (NS2298) to its right; just to the right again, a small part of Cnoc Coinnich (NN2300) is visible behind the nearer hills.
