Description: Panoramic view from summit of Cairngorm looking south-west towards Cairn Toul, Braeriach, Lurcher's Crag, Cairn Lochan and Coire an t-Sneachda, Inverness-shire. The photograph shows the high summit areas of the Cairngorms, one of accordance of summit tops indicative of a former pre-glacial Mesozoic to Tertiary peneplained land surface that has been considerably modified by glacial erosion. Note the typical development of corries on these northern slopes. To the left is the typical boulder-strewn covering with little vegetation.
