From Glen Quaich along Rob Roy Way path. Steep ascent up heather and blaeberry (and some grass) slope to the coll from Lochan Uaine area.

Parked in gravel yard by green-clad building at Auchnafauld. Track 100 yards E leads almost onto the ridge, which I followed over Meall Mor SE Top, Meall Mor, the cheese wedge summit of Creag Grianain (the best top of the day), Beinn na Gainimh and Sron Bealadh, before cutting down NW over heathery slopes to the lochan at the col on the Rob Roy way and following the Way to the road at Croftmill.Nick Down118/04/2022

From Meall Mor and on to Gainimh. This is a cracking wee hill with a superb outlook over Glen Lochan.sclater07/11/2021
Route from Newton Bridge over hills to N of Glen Almond. Walked short distance N along A822 to bridge leading to open hillside. Followed stream running NW to upper slopes of Meall Reamhar and on to summit. Camped close to summit. Continued on to Geal Charn (including possible alternative top c 500m S), then Meall Mor, the fine summit of Creag Grianain and finally the flat summit of Beinn na Gainimh. Descended via SE ridge to Glen Almond in increasing sunshineRobertP29/08/2021

Parked on verge E of Croftmill in Glen Quaich, followed tracks past Croftmill to summit plateau of Meall nam Fuaran (not clear exactly where that is, but the spot height on OS 1:25000 is probably very close), then S along line of crags, before dropping down steeply to the high point of Glen Lochan, crossed and up the slopes to summit of Beinn na Gainimh (crossing a double electric fence en route, for the first of 4 times), continuing along ridge line to Creag Grianain and then Meall Mor, descending N at first, then steeply down to dam at E end of Lochan a' Mhuilinn, crossing river near spillway, followed track back to Croftmillkdbennett25/04/2021

A good track from Achnafauld leads pretty close to the top of Geal Charn, then you follow an electric fence across some (thankfully bone dry) peat hags to Meall Mor. The most interesting section is then between here and Creag Grianain, which is comparatively craggy, before dropping down onto the Rob Roy Way at Lochan Uaine.summitter15/05/2020
Route as for Beinn na Gainimh, Meall Mor, Creag Grianan, Beinn na GainimhJulieB30/12/2019
A morning round of the three tops SE of Rob Roy Way in Glen Lochan before heading home. Overcast but cloud lifted from summit ahead of me as I headed up track to a short way before the bealach when I saw a relatively heather free line. Beinn na gainimh (G);Creag Grianain(Gt) and Meall Mor(Gt). managed to puck out a grassy rake between the badly eroding slopes of second top. Other than this the day was enlivened by crossing a live electric fence three times - once before each top.dickscroop28/08/2019
