The picture was taken within a few seconds of noon. The view is from a NS3779 : Path leading up Carman Hill; its course is marked on the 1:25000 map. A couple of metres ahead, and crossing the image from left to right, is a depression that runs parallel to the path. It seems simply to be the result of drainage from the hillside, rather than being one of the sunken approaches to the fort on the hilltop (for which, compare NS3779 : Carman Hill-fort: sunken approach road).

This part of the hillside, to the SSW of the summit, is relatively free of boulders when compared with the southeastern side of the hill (NS3779 : Slopes of Carman Hill / NS3779 : Slopes of Carman Hill).

In the background, the peninsula of Ardmore Point (NS3178) juts out from the near shore of the Clyde. Directly behind it is Kempock Point (NS2477 : Walkway at Kempock Point) in Gourock. Behind that, and almost twice as far away, is Dunoon and a view into distant Bishop's Glen (NS1576).
