| Up Foss Mine track almost to the top of Meall Tairneachan, steeply down eastwards to rejoin track, through the now disused mine area and on almost to the end of the track. Faint and intermittent path to Farragon Hill then straight back via the track to the start. All quite straightforward. | TRG318 | 08/11/2023 |

| From B846 up the quarry track. Persistent snowfall battled with deep fresh snow when leaving track (hut and toilet huts) passed on route to trig. Contrast to first visit sweltering hot day and a plague of flies. | N.Morters | 14/01/2023 |

| Solo Meall Tairneachan & Farragon Hill from the B846. Took the track to the mine (via the Meall Tairneachan summit), and then the faint track and path up Farragon Hill, then back the same way. The mine was quiet (Sunday) so was able to walk through the middle of it with no issues. Cloudy with sunny spells, and fairly gusty on Farragon Hill. Total time 4h 22min. | mproudfoot | 07/08/2022 |
| From side of road to Tummel Bridge, then on to Farragon Hill, sunburnt. Back to car in 5:55. | colazione | 09/07/2022 |

| Meall Tarneachan and Farragon Hill from the layby opposite the entrance to the Foss mine. Easy ascent of Meall Tairneachan, a cairn marks the point where a path leaves the mine road for the summit | Gary Heath | 31/05/2022 |

| With Farragon from Tummel. Cycled from Pitlochry to Netherton, used tracks for both hills, cut down over Doire Leathan to track through forestry to Frenich. Shower in morning at Perth station, but dry while I was out and sunny too. Below zero above 600m and a scattering of snow. Met one couple at summit of Farragon. | Rounsfell | 03/01/2022 |
| Easy walk up the Foss mines track on a blustery NY day. Eschewed the extension to Farragon Hill to preserve the injured ankle; 8km of pleasant walking | Rockdoctor | 01/01/2022 |
| First Corbett for Beinn, Rowan and Elowen, great views in every direction. Easy ascent route via forestry track, only last 50m ascent across easy heather slopes | DadontheBeinn | 22/10/2021 |
| First Corbett with the family | BeinnontheBeinn | 22/10/2021 |
| First Corbett (first summit of any kind) with the family! The view was beautiful! | Elowenonthebeinn | 22/10/2021 |
| My first summit with the family. The first of many! | Rowanonthebeinn | 22/10/2021 |
| Along the mine track from the Forestry Scotland CP North of the Keltney Pass, cutting across damp heather to Ciochan a'Chop, following the low ridge across to the summit of Meall Tairneachan, visiting Creag an Chananaich, Meal a'Bhealach and the South and North summits of Creag and Loch from the mine track and traversing below Meall Tairneachan to its West Top and Meall Odhar Mor. The deer fence en route to the track can be crossed at the locked gate where two fencelines meet: you can either climb or wiggle under the wooden fence by the gate. Panoramic views from all these tops. | Nick Down1 | 06/10/2021 |

| With Farragon Hill from Aberfeldy. Up via Rock of Weem then NW to track end directly SE of summit. Then direct to summit from there - ground not as bad as expected. Descended to baryte mine track. | quadbarrel | 24/04/2021 |

| Stunning snowy walk from quarry entry along the mine road Meall Tairneachan and Farragon, down to track and onto mine road and on to strathtay. (seemed a better option when looking at out and back). Really nice walk in fantastic views to schehallion and Ben Lawers to the south and Beinn a'Ghlo to the north. 15 miles in 6hrs 10 with deep snow at times | Nicky C | 30/12/2020 |

| Solo from Limekilns carpark part cycling and part pusinlg bike up track. Short walk to trig point. Heavy use of brakes coming downhill. | alexmaclennan | 11/10/2020 |
| Standard route for the two Corbetts on a perfect cold, calm, cloudless morning, mist over the lochs, the mine deserted. | Owen B | 27/09/2020 |
