Today myself and Hitman9956 enjoyed a 22.5km walk from Kilchattan Bay which included Suidhe Bhlain [St Blane's Hill] (123m), Dunagoil (35m) and Suidhe Chatain (157m). The walk was very scenic and the summit views all worthwhile. Our last summit and some good views over the island to end with. /Dmeltdiceburg28/08/2023

5th and final hill on a circular walk from Kilchattan bay, climbing Torr Mor, Barr Buidhe, Suidhe Bhlain and Dunagoil fort, using a track to intercept the West Island Way and then following this to near the top where i veered off to climb a fence and then find out these is a stile giving access to the Trig pillar and Summit. Followed the West Island Way all the way back to Kilchattan Bay. Very enjoyable first Bute-iful walk.Dazingdale17/05/2021

Parked on the verge, just south of the track to the mast. Pleasant walk up the track, then the steep grassy slope, and over the stile to the summit. Good views all round.LizH13/03/2020

From NS 1013 5507 track between houses then a track up through the woods. Followed wall for a while to avoid bracken, then peeled off right at tree with a swing for a steep ascent; more bracken near the top. Fine hill once up there.jonglew30/08/2017
