The Analysis of One Picture - part 3 of 1 2 3 4

by Paul Gallagher Published 01/10/2012

This is the more usual view of the Torridon Hills, shot from Ben Damph (on film!) on the south side.

A key question we tried to answer involved the visibility (or not) of Sail Mhor, part of the Triple Butress group (below from slightly closer!).

Google today provides 3-D renderings of the mountain scenery which is very useful for orienting yourself but often at frustratingly low resolution in the remotest parts of Scotland.

The answer comes with a caveat, we felt Sail Mhor would not be visible but that the peak we could just detect in the image was Ruadh-stac Mor, which is to the left (western) end as the scene is viewed. The profile on the left, developed from the composite map above, suggests Sail Mhor might (just) be visible.
