Circular route, parking in Killin. Pleasant walked along Glen Lochay road to Auchlyne, then followed tracks NW and W before climbing hillside to Sgiath Chuil, Sgiath Chrom, and along ridge to Meall a'Churain, Sgiath Chuil E Top, Meall nan Samhna Far West Top, Meall nan Samhna West Top, Meall nan Samhna, Beinn Bhreac, Creag Mhor, Meall Clachach, Creag Bhuidhe and down to Killin. | RobertP | 15/08/2023 |
From Auchlyne up hydro track and then across to Meall Eoghainn, then over all P20s and P30s to Creag nan Craobh and back down the W side of the Auchlyne East Burn. Most of it fairly easy going due to sheep and deer stamping down the ground. | sclater | 03/04/2023 |
From Beinn Bhreac, Descended and past the lochan on its S side, then up over the S alternative high point, and along to the summit. Pleasant grassy walking. On to Sgiath Chuil East Top. | LizH | 29/04/2022 |

What should have been a straightforward round of 4 tops proved a little more difficult in thick low cloud. None of tops clearly marked and many imposters. Started at east end and kept going taking in all tops until ridge clearly started to go down. On descent from cloud checked position against pipeline on N side of Glen Lochy and confirmed I had got them all. Creag Nhor; beinn Bhreac; Meall na Samhna and Sgiath Chuill East Top. | dickscroop | 21/08/2018 |

Circuit from Auchlyne. | jimbloomer | 05/05/2017 |
High cloud, cold, sharp summit wind, dry, good views. | iangalbraith | 15/04/2012 |
was running out of time getting near to sunset and infuriatingly cloud came over just before I got on to the summit ridge when it had been clear all day. very much something to growl about and wish that I'd gone straight for the summit first and gone clockwise. c'est la vie. | vegibagger | 31/12/2001 |
