Beinns Ime and Narnain

My intention was to climb the Munros, Meall Greigh and Meall Garbh, from Boreland Forest on the A827 Aberfeldy to Killin Road. However on my arrival at the start of the zigzag track through this forest a sign indicated that access was restricted due to forestry operations. I therefore continued[…]
