Family hike of Beinn a' Chroin and An Caisteal. Nice day out. One short sketchy bit of scrambling for having a child backpack coming off Beinn a' Chroin, maybe why most do the loop the other way.Tisteln09/07/2022

Made sure I visited huge boulder and checked GR with GPS. On two previous occasions had only visited cairned top, which was not Munro then. Middle top was not even listed in Munro tables.russell6118/06/2021
