| On return from Meall Garbh; excellent view point. Down SW ridge to track and car. | MichaelF | 31/03/2024 |
| Parked at the end of Glen Strae for a circuit of 1 HF and 5 Simms. 4/6. Visited both summits. | PGCE | 28/04/2023 |
| Roadside verge parking ~150m up the B8077. Beinn a' Chochuill, Beinn Eunaich, its East Top and Meal Copagach first then across to here. Dropped down to the track down the glen for the return. A 12.13 miles round. | jonglew | 23/03/2023 |

| A glorious day for Glen Strae hills. Splendid walk up the SW ridge of Beinn Lurachan (best hill of the day), over the top, then over Meall Beithe to the little grassy bealach below Meall Garbh. Gate, then ATV track part way up Meall Garbh, then tedious trudging up rough steep grass to the fine but short summit ridge. Down and up the glen towards Coire Dubh Ealcha contouring down at Pt 515 to the prominent shelf then E down very steep grass then SE more easily to pick up the track near the bridge. | Gill | 24/09/2022 |
| Park NN14442943. Biked to Allt Dhoirrean. Followed faint track on west side - track becomes more obvious further up the glen. A round of Beinn Lurachan, Meall Beithe, Meall Buidhe, Meall Copagach and Beinn Eunaich East Top. | BaggerGutt | 03/05/2022 |
| We took the Glen Strae track from the B8077 until reaching a gloriously clear pool on the Allt Dhoireann that looks perfect for summer dipping. However, as it was only a few degrees above zero we instead headed up the trodden path to Lairig Dhoireann, veering off on to the SW flank of Beinn Lurachan - a steady climb giving good access to its summit. Over to Meall Beithe then a steep fall and rise to Meall Garbh. Headed home by aiming for Coire Dubh Ealcha, keeping this deep chasm to our right as we dropped into Glen Strae and its estate track back to the car. 5.5hrs. | summitter | 02/04/2022 |
| Route from Glen Strae. Limited evidence for the path on the map up to Lairig Dhoireann. Branded off near top to climb the 2 tops of Beinn Lurachan. Continued NE to climb Beinn Larachan, then climbed S ridge of Meall Buidhe with good views to Starav range. Descended S, then climb NW to Meall Garbh, visiting summit and various nearby rocks of similar height. Return to beallach and steady climb to Meall Beithe. Skirted round summit of Beinn Lurachan and descended fine SW ridge to rejoin Glen Strae track. | RobertP | 14/08/2021 |

| Lochawe - Beinn a'Chochuil - Beinn Eunaich - Beinn Eunaich E Top - Meall Copagach - Beinn Lurachan - Lochawe (descent from Lurachan via the path marked over Lairig Dhioreann not recommended : SW ridge of Lurachan looks much drier). | campagvelocet | 01/10/2014 |
| Same tops as below but from tent at head of Glen Kinglass. Poor weather, much cloud and wet ground from recent snow melt but would have been a good walk on a better day. | dickscroop | 29/03/2014 |
| Beinn Lurachan, Meall Beith, Meall Garbh and Meall Buidhe from Stronmilchan Bridge. Long walk back down Glen Strae with Martin Collins. | jimbloomer | 29/06/2013 |

| From Glen Strae. | Chris Peart | 12/04/2005 |
| Sunny, hot, gusty (51mph), good views. | iangalbraith | 08/08/2004 |
| fine summit & view. circuit from Glen Strae | RHW | 25/05/2003 |
| Afternoon walk starting from Strae bridge near Drishaig to Strae/Kinglas bealach. With the weather clearing after a wet morning, I continued to the summit of Beinn Lurachan, and descended its SW ridge. Most of this hill was out of cloud; no problems route finding according to my log- but no paths back in 1988. Visited pumped storage scheme in the morning. It's an impressive use of the mountain with the generators in a vast, constructed, cavern. | pwheeler | 01/05/1988 |
