Sìthean na Raplaich

Deer just below the summit of Sìthean na Raplaich. Sìthean na Raplaich is the highest of the Tertiary basalt hills of Morvern and is mostly a large moorland plateau. The northern side of the range has a succession of spectacular vegetated crags. The summit is a typical trap hill (trap as in step) with the highest part being made of a coarse grained basalt that is more resistant to erosion. Being almost surrounded by the sea, Sìthean na Raplaich is a very good viewpoint.
