The lip of a bomb crater

The curving lip of a Second World War bomb crater can be seen here in the foreground; see: NS3680 : Bomb Crater. Compare NS3681 : Possible bomb crater, a little further to the north.

For the sheep that roam these hills, the crater, which is about 30 metres across, sometimes serves as a convenient shelter from the wind.

In the background, Loch Lomond can be seen, with the peak of Ben Lomond (NN3602) prominent in the centre background. The large island right of centre is Inchmurrin (NS3887).
