A more straightforward munro day today as I have to drive home this evening. Beinn an Dothaidh West Top and summit, Beinn Dorain North Top and summit, but I did make an extension to Meall Tionail which I enjoyed, some good views walking around what is probably the more dramatic side of the range. Notes: An easier crossover from Beinn an Dothaidh than it looked. As with that one, I thought the views were better from this summit than the main one. /D | meltdiceburg | 18/06/2023 |

Solo, running, glorious blue sky, sunshine, firm snow. The long ridge S to bag Dorain was trying, with softer snow, ups and downs, seemed a very long way. | NorfolkPT21 | 01/04/2018 |

Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh. GLSS hillwalk. | killiedaft | 05/07/2014 |
Walked up only path from Bridge of Orhcy on clear day, some very boggy patches before the main climb, walked up along Beinn Dorains many false summits until the proper top, great views and patches of snow everywhere, walked back down to col and climbed the very wet Beinn An Dothaidh. Had to hurry off the summit because cloud came down, it was pouring with rain before we got to the car. Brilliant 9.5 mile walk after bagging Broad Law and Culter Fell the day previous. | DanTrig | 09/06/2014 |

What a perfect day in the hills, blue sky, minimal wind and NO rain. I used spikeys on a patch of snow up to the col at 744 but after that I managed to just kick in on the snowy patches. | LizzieG | 19/04/2013 |
