Via Bishop's Glen with the wonderful Argyll Mountaineering Club.	DavieRuts	06/08/2023
Parked at Bishops Glen car park, followed tracks up to Elligan (note these are not all on 1:50k map, only recent 1:25k os maps). Followed fenceline to Bishops Seat then to col below Black Craig, up to cairn then summit of Black Craig. On return followed fence down to junction of Bishop Seat fence, then kept going along fence to South to meet track coming out corner of forest on Horse Seat. Followed tracks and paths down to Bishops Glen. 10 miles, Lovely 6hr day out including stops, and not too bad underfoot, but it has been a very dry sunny week.	JulieB	22/04/2023
From Bishop's Seat then back down to Corlarach P in Bishop's Glen via reasonable tracks through the felled plantation.	sclater	02/07/2020

From Kilbride Hill, via Bishop's Seat. Onwards to Finbracken Hill, over a myriad of tiresome tussocks	Colin Crawford	31/05/2017
5th of 5 from Dunoon Easy from the Socach. Fantastic view up Loch Eck and generally all round on a sunny clear day. The key to the descent is to make for where The Badd burn enters the forest. Follow the pink markers down this even when it veers NE. Stick with it till you come to the edge of the cleared forest. Then I followed bulldozed tracks through the clear fell. Crossed the main burn and followed white markers until I got to the lower main forest road 200m West of the reservoir and headed back to the ferry. The pink markers would be hard to find on an ascent. Note the whole forest is gradually being felled.	Thearlaichdubh	17/04/2017
