Parked at Falls of Truim cp and got onto the track above Etteridge to do a round of Druim nan Sac, Creag Ruadh and Druim nan Sac West Top.sclater03/03/2024
From layby 98 up the ATV track which we seemed to lose for a while. Regained the track which went within a stone's throw of the summit of Creag Ruadh. Track/path over to Druim nan Sac. Heather and tussocks across to the West Top. Descent south west crossing fence and river. Followed river back out to the road. A very good day with almost perfect summer weather. A bit of sun but also cloud cover. Not too hot, not too cold, little wind, no rain, no midges and no flies.Fife Walking06/08/2023

A quick up and down from the nearest lay-by on A9 on my way up further north. Would have been quicker without problem of climbing out of the road cutting and over an awkward deer fence.dickscroop20/08/2021

First of three soggy Simms from Etteridge, quite wet underfoot in places. Then Creagan Mor from Balsporran on the way home.NormanW18/10/2020
It felt like a Pennine hill what with being a grouse moor and with grazing sheeps. However, the view made it feel like a highland hill.Alan Moore28/09/2020
