before meeting some colleagues in Dornoch for the Lairg Crofters' Show; I drove up early from Edinburgh, coffee at House of Bruar and bacon roll and coffee in Linda's(?) café in Brora; drove up Glen Loth; parked car near standing stone, crossed stile and headed directly up the hill; a steepish climb on wet grass and heather; I took some photographs at the sw top before continuing over easy ground to the main summit; I then continued to Ben Uarie - en route to which I took some photographs of a rainbow that touched down on the banks of the Helmsdale River (BBC Scotland did not take photo as one of its photos of the month); I could also see the enormous Duke of Sutherland's statue above Golspie from Beinn Dhorain; I descended via the col and burn between Dhorain and Uarie and drove over Glen Loth and down Strath Kildonan to Helmsdale | langskill | 30/08/2019 |

With May. | mainnirnamfiadh | 15/07/2004 |
On way back from working in Thurso. I drove south via Forsinard to Kildonan and followed the Kildonan - Lothbeg road. This road has very few passing places. It looks like an old road judging by the old stone bridges. There is plenty of grass growing on the road surface. It is not gritted or kept clear of snow in Winter. I left the car at NC934172 and walked up the hillside more or less straight to the summit of Ben Uarie. There is a trig point inside a shelter. Then on to the summit of Beinn Dhorain. There is a cairn. This is a Graham. Went down SE slope to some cairn/structure and then N to burn, E to road and up road. Passed a man digging peat near the road. | pwbellarby | 30/07/2003 |
