Carn Garbh, from Glen Sletdale.

A large mass of moorland above Brora on the east coast of Sutherland gives terrain quite different to the usual images of the county's hills. Beinn Uarie and Beinn Dhorain show a fine face to Glen Loth, but the rest of the range is bog and reindeer moss. There are two 150m separated hills, either side of wild Glen Sletdale. Carn Garbh is probably little frequented other than for sporting purposes, but Dhorain is probabl;y a popular day out for the locals. The short steep climb is very rewarding with far ranging coastal views.

A visit to Glen Sletdale is more rewarding than the usual quickie ascent from the Glen Loth road.
