Here are a couple of images I captured on my early morning shoot. For me, these images work well as they focus down on the jagged and unforgiving ridge but also give a sense of the mystery and atmosphere surrounding it. The scattering of snow provides a clue as to the texture and surface of the gabbro rock.

Later on in the day I decided to head for the lone tree. This time I did stop to take some images of the Red Cuillin Ridge. The tiniest amount of snow remained on top and light and clouds were making for a strong image:

I moved on towards the lone tree but again was enticed by the Black Cuillin Ridge that looked spectacular in the emerging sunlight:

I tend to pre-visualise and organise my photography but yet again chance had overtaken these plans and my sense of sniffing out the shot had prevailed. Again, I was rewarded for my choice to be creative rather than sticking to plan. A lesson for me here as I seek to unlock the spontaneous and creative photographer within!
