A pleasant circuit from Killin up the track to Creag Bhuidhe and over frozen bogs to Meall Clachach then down to the other track to the longhouse. Powder over ice made the tracks lethal in some places. | sclater | 17/01/2024 |

Parked on the main street (NN5731 3306) near the Breadalbain park gate. Through a gate over to the SW of the park, then up to a stile at the woodland edge. Followed the path through the wood and up to Sron a Chlachain. Good viewpoint. Then on across at times boggy ground, and to the summit cairn. | LizH | 19/03/2023 |

Easy, with Brian. | Play2End | 07/11/2021 |
An afternoon walk starting up th very good signed path from Breadalbane park to first summit. No real path after that but easy walking all the way to top and back. Excellent views. | dickscroop | 15/10/2021 |
Parked in Manse Road, Killin. Went up track opposite Burnside, into field. Up around E side of forest (won't be so easy once the bracken and nettles have grown), then over fence onto track. Followed old track almost to summit (it goes further than shown on the map). Returned via Creag Bhuidhe. | PGCE | 03/06/2021 |
From NE, P at longhouse, path starts at field gate near house, a little intermittent. Down via the SubDodd to E | RHW | 22/05/2021 |
A path from Breadalbane Park provides a straightforward climb up Creag Bhuide, as well as superb views across Loch Tay and the Ben Lawers range. It's not such easy going onwards to Meall Clachach - following an old fence line affords some relief from the boggy ground. We returned to Killin via the vegetated-over track on the south side of these two hills. Still pretty boggy in places, but a steady descent. Once it reached a hard-surface forestry track we took a narrow finger-post marked path through trees and head-height bracken at Monemore, re-joining civilisation at a gate next to a house called Pathways on the Manse Road. To get to this point from the centre of Killin, turn left at Old Bank, go up Manse Road, past Kilkenny, then turn right at Burnside. A lovely two-hour or so walk. | summitter | 16/08/2020 |

From the forest road joining the Killin - Auchlyne road. Haulage yard gate lock, so I went through the field on the R and a short patch of woodland before rejoining the track. Views along the length of Loch Tay from Creag Bhuidhe, then along the old fence line to the summit cairn on Meall Clachach, descending SE to the road by the haulage yard (cross the fence with caution: it is electrified). | Nick Down1 | 28/03/2020 |
