Parked at Balsporran Cottages. Circular walk taking in A' Mharconaich (973.2m) Bruach nan Iomairean 
(969.8m), Beinn Udlamain (1010.2m), An Sgulan 
(865m), Old Sgairneach Mhor (963m), Sgairneach Mhor (991m), Sgairneach Mhor E Top (758m) and the Sow of Atholl (798.9m). Then a separate circular walk around Geal-charn (917.1m) at the end due to an error at the start. Generally clear and sunny but cloud on some summits, still a nice walk with some snow on the ground but not too much. After parking up I was tired from yesterday and somehow got confused with my notes and climbed this hill first, it was a nice walk up from the parking. Summit still in the cloud but views nearly all the way. /D | meltdiceburg | 01/04/2024 |
