After visiting Sgòr Mòr qv | NorfolkPT21 | 17/03/2024 |
From Linn of Dee. Quite rough and very heathery getting from the track on the north side of the Dee to the fence line around 480m asl. Followed the north side of the deer fence to about 670m asl. The going looked better on the other side. Then aimed straight for the minor summit point 744 on good ground with thin heather, then easily to the stony summit with fantastic views in all directions to higher snowy hills. On descent took a slightly more southerly line rejoining the deer fence at 620m asl, then left the deer fence at 540m asl and found a much easier way to the riverside track than on the way up. | Owen B | 20/04/2022 |
DR. Linn of Dee to White Bridge then Sgorr Ban. Return by Sgorr Dubh & Luibeg then Glen Lui. Corded river to Bob Scott's Bothy. A fine, sunny & mild day. | Vin | 16/09/2021 |
Meall an lundain, carn crom, creagan nan gabhar, sgor mor repeat, sqor dubh, 3 seperate ridges from linn of dee, biked in to derry lodge. | robertphillips | 06/06/2021 |
from Linn o Dee over Carn an ‘lc Duibhe, this one, and to Sgor Dubh then off to N. Rough heather at first but soon up on grass and short heather. Very easy from there as dry underfoot today. Different story if wet I’d think. Met a couple of pairs, unexpectedly as road up and down v quiet. Sunny, cool strong breeze. All tops clear. Some snow above 1000m, none on my hill. Quiet trot back from Press nam Meirlach. Beautiful. Blue hare and plover on hill. Solo, 5hrs 40 inc stops.fast for me! | niallp | 19/04/2021 |

Windy but amazing views into the Cairngorms | LizzieG | 21/10/2018 |
During a windy week in Tomintoul. Smithy set off for Carn Bhac from Inverey while I walked up past White Bridge from the Linn Of Dee as per SMC guidebook. On N bank of first burn after White Bridge, there is a very faint path which winds up generally NE to about 600m through the rough stuff before petering out. Then N over increasingly easier ground to the most brilliant summit view: central & eastern Gorms & particularly Beinn a Ghlo. This is what Corbetts were invented for! An enjoyable wander E along the plateau to Sgor Dubh & then SE picking up the new-ish deer fence. There are vehicle tracks & then a vague path next to, or right on the fence which helps with the heather. Handrailed this down to the gate mentioned by others scattering some roe deer in the trees. Got careless just 50m from track & turned an ankle in a heathery hole which did for the following days plans... | NotReallyABagger | 12/09/2018 |
From Linn of Dee, having already been on Sgor Mor. | dal | 07/07/2018 |

Trig revisit. SE approach from Linn of Dee car park, in wind and rain. Serious heather bashing to the ridge then nice ridge walk, good test for the waterproofs. | RHW | 27/08/2012 |
Lots of snow - particularly on the lower slopes - for some reason the ridge from Sgor Mor had very little snow. Hard going in places, particularly on the way down. The views today were phenomenal, clear as a bell in every direction. | tsharp | 04/04/2012 |
