View southward from the A832 near Gairloch Hotel to the SE end of the sea-loch. There, not quite visible, is the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel and Shieldaig village. just above it the small peak of Sidhean Mor (738 ft.). Confusingly, another Shieldaig village is 12 miles further south as the crow flies, the other side of the Shieldaig Forest mountains: these dominate the background and include Baeishven Bus Bheinn (2,860 ft.) and Beinn Alligin (3,232 ft.).
