The view is from about the same place as Image, but in the opposite direction. One example of a hut can be seen, with Dumgoyne (Image) on the skyline behind it. The settlement of the Carbeth Hutters might be said to have had its roots in the summer camps organised here by the Clarion Scouts, a socialist movement, before the First World War. From those beginnings, the nature of the settlements gradually evolved in response to social changes.
