Second of three, on Loch Nagar anti-clockwise loop from Spittal of Glenmuick. We started early, and had the whole area to ourselves - only seeing others coming up as we descended to the queen’s house. We attempted to sit and soothe our feet in Loch Muick, but swarms of midges drove us away in two minutes flat! | Toby-and-Dion | 23/08/2023 |

12.3 mile walk up and down Lochnagar on the tourist path from Spittal of Glen Muick. On the way back we went over Cac Carn Mor, Cuidhe Crom and Meikle Pap. The day started out nicely with high cloud and sun but as we descended from Meikle Pap our last hill the cloud came down.

Spittal of Glenmuick - Conachraig - Cac Carn Mor - Spittal of Glenmuick | davidpettit84 | 28/10/2018 |
Frances, Mandy & Jim, Leslie & Angela Drennan, Katrina, Bryan. Weather fair, but with gusty windy that was particularly problematic on the 'ladder'. Drove to Loch Muick. The walk up to the high point between Lochnagar and Caisteal na Caillich was straightforward on an excellent track. There is also an excellent path from this point up to the col between Meikle Pap and the main ridge. The wind had not been a significant issue until we reached the col. The next section on a mix of path and boulders - the Ladder - was challenging in the strong gusty wind and Angela found it particularly difficult. However, once onto the main ridge the walking was straightforward - we took the well made path that keeps well away from the precipitous northern cliffs. before heading down via the Glas Allt waterfall to Loch Muick. My ankle was giving me gip and the route march back along Loch Muick to the car was a bit painful. | langskill | 12/09/2018 |
