Using coffin road from Inverbroom, then on to Carn a' Bhiorain. The north top looks as high from the cairn with memorial, my altimeter couldn't separate them | Colin Crawford | 12/05/2021 |

Revisited for the ENE twin summit and attached P30. Very steep climb from road, a few crags to avoid. | RHW | 10/06/2014 |
From SE via Carn Dearg, parked near houses, path passes L of first house, thru gate, over fence, then follows top edge of wood. Continued S then SW to Bhiorain, descending with care to cross gorge. 3 summits: SW-most seems higher; NE also has cairn. Both have 510m spots on 1:10k mapping so I'll revisit sometime to claim the tick. | RHW | 22/11/2013 |
