I left my vehicle on an area of rough ground east of Boath, in Strath Rusdale, north-west of Alness in Easter Ross, and walked back east along the road to the start of the vehicle track for Ballone Cottage and the Novar Wind Farm. This track led passed the cottage[…]
Glen Avon
I left my vehicle in the parking area on the east side of the River Avon near Delnabo, south of Tomintoul, and walked south on the undulating vehicle track in Glen Avon. The track later joined the tarred road which crossed from the west side of the River Avon to[…]
Nethy Bridge
Croftronan Hill: I parked on the verge of the road leading from Boat of Garten to Loch Garten at the point where the Speyside Way headed through the forest (GR NH968191) and walked along this route to a clearing which I followed east. I soon left it and walked south[…]
Strath Glass
I parked at the start of the little used track on the east side of Strath Glass, north-east of Cannich, and south of Easter Crochail and walked up this track passing through a couple of gates in deer fences, the first was past its best while the second one was[…]
Rhue
Parked beside the old boathouse at the end of the public road on the Rhue Peninsula west of the village of Arisaig and walked along the vehicle track towards Rhue House. Before reaching this property we left the track and climbed the Tump, Cruach Rhue, with wonderful views out to[…]

I initially parked on the verge of the A861 at Inverailort, just south of the junction with the A830 at Lochailort, but a local suggested parking on the waste ground beside the cottages which was fine by me. I then set off east along a grassy track, through a couple[…]

Glen Buchat

Tyndrum
The plan was to climb the Corbett, Beinn Bhreac-liath, from the A82 north of Tyndrum, and to include the Graham Top, Beinn Bheag. Strath Fillan and Tyndrum were engulfed in low cloud but just north of the village and after the council boundary the skies cleared. Around 100 metres further[…]
