The Graham Top, Mullachdubh, was located well south of Strathdon and would have involved a long approach route. A shorter route from Balachailach to the north-east accessed along a minor road from the A97 appeared more suitable. I left my car at the edge of the road leading to the[…]
Gleann Beag
I left my car in the small parking area beside the bridge over the Shee Water in the Spittal of Glenshee and walked to then a short distance north along the A93. Thereafter a vehicle track was followed east to the property at Tomb, this route being a section of[…]
Isle of Jura

Ericht
I parked on an area of grass beside the gates giving access to Talla-a-Bheithe Estate at Bridge of Ericht, located on the north side of Loch Rannoch in Perthshire. Once through the pedestrian gate there were signs regarding forestry operations and here the vehicle track was covered in bits of[…]
Pubil
I parked below the dam at the east end of Loch Lyon just west of Pubil in Glen Lyon then walked north crossing the vehicle track that headed west along the north side of the Loch and followed the line of a stock fence uphill. I later left this fence[…]
Beinn Odhar
I parked in the first lay-by on the west side of the A82 north of Tydrum, crossed the A82 and a barbed wire fence then some boggy ground to reach the West Highland Way. I followed it north to the bridges over a stream and railway line where I discovered[…]
Glen Etive
I left my car in the car park at the foot of Glen Etive and walked round the stock gate that prevented vehicles form heading further south-west then immediately turned right onto a forest track where I crossed a ditch and commenced the ascent of Beinn Trilleachan. This took me[…]
Moidart
In December 2018 I climbed the Corbetts, Rois-Bheinn and An Stac from Inverailort. The weather wasn’t great and the Allt a’ Bhuiridh was running high so I missed out on Sgurr na Ba Glaise so today I was back to climb it with a couple of friends who were going[…]
Stob Dubh
We parked in Glen Etive just south of the vehicle track leading to Coileitir then walked down this track to the bridge over the River Etive then north-east along the vehicle track on the east side of the river. This took us to the bridge over the Allt Ceitlein and[…]
Ardgour
This was to be a longish day so an early start was required for the circuit of Coire an Iubhair. I parked beside an old section of the A861 Ardgour to Strotian Road beside the bridge over the Abhainn Coire an Iubhair and set off along the path on the[…]
