Then back to cairn Inks and along minor tracks to Cairn of Barns and Coremachy. Doubled back again, this time to just shy of Cairn Inks, where a deer track gives a good run to the deer fence up to Mount Bouie, where the high point seems be adjacent the aforementioned fence. Finished by heading N then W around the forest edge back to the starting track. 4.5 hours total. | summitter | 04/11/2022 |

Parked at Glenprosen village carpark (at church). Up the track that leads to Glentairie. This track does end at around 450m. after that i headed over to the fence that leads to the summit. There may well be a path along that fence, there was so much snow it wasnt possible to tell, defo a clear line through the heather, very handy indeed. | hils | 26/12/2021 |
