| Bike from Castlebay, walking from layby at NL630967, heading roughly up a gully, reaching ridge E of summit, then along to the top, descending N at first, turning E on reaching an old field dyke, back to start (1h15m) | kdbennett | 18/06/2023 |

| Jill Robertson | 16/06/2023 | |
| From Beinn Orasaigh where a CP besides the cattle grid provides a good starting point. A bit of vegetation to start with then eases out to rock and grasses higher up. | summitter | 10/06/2023 |

| Barra and Vatersay Tumps now completed. So, wandered over to the community centre for a mug of hot chocolate and to make certain that the Vatersay Boys would be performing there the following night. Before unhurriedly making my return to Dunard Hostel over this top. | Twice Shy | 09/08/2018 |
| A bus walk from Vatersay back to Castlebay over Beinn Chuidhir, then via Bagh a'Deas and Bagh a'Bhatersaigh beaches and the cafe. Direct from the cafe up Heiseabhal Beag on short grass and gneiss pavements, then over to Heiseabhal Mor. Down the west ridge to a flat section, and a zig-zag descent N to the bealach avoiding little crags. W to the road and the coast path to reach the causeway, and Beinn Tangabhal. | Gill | 07/08/2018 |

| First hill on Barra - Vatersay and probably my favourite. Wonderful views down to the beach. Climbed from the narrow section by the beaches, just near the community hall which has toilets available and wash facilities and showers which is handy if you are camping. Strikes me very friendly community. | nickywood1 | 07/06/2018 |
| Approach from NE - rough heather/grass & some slimy rock - ascent from S looks more pleasant. | ger | 22/05/2018 |

| From about NL631967, we set off roughly parallel with the road but rising slowly. The fences marked on the map appear to be what we call Cornish hedges and are not very obvious. Having found the broad re-entrant we set off up its W side, rising as much above it as felt comfortable. This gave us a long and lumpy walk across the tops to the actual summit | m0jla | 26/04/2018 |
