From the Buddhist retreat centre, after ferry from Lamlash (£22 in 2023). Took the hill path up through the woods, first east, then south, onto open moor, up to the summit of Mullach Beag. Then down to the bealach, with a short steep section (a little scrambly at first) up to the trig on summit of Mullach Mór. Return by outward route. With DB and RP. 5.3km, with 370m of ascent. | Man of Kernow1 | 07/09/2023 |
Ferry from Lamlash and then walked ,north to south over both tops and back along the shore. Misty rain and sunny in equal measure. Goats sleeping on the beach and a peregrine falcon. Great walk | Longwojo | 22/08/2023 |

Down the S ridge to Pillar Rock lighthouse and back by the W coast footpath via St Molaise's Cave and the Buddhist rock paintings. | SalmonJoe | 17/04/2023 |
As part of the usual clockwise route. A lovely sunny day and an excellent walk. Saw some of the Eriskay ponies and Soay sheep on the reurn leg. | milimana | 15/09/2022 |

£12 ferry, very interesting talk and then a return walk of under 1.5 hours and 3 miles. Great views and very peaceful. Solo. | bolton | 14/06/2017 |
Group walk as part of Arran festival | jpitches | 21/05/2017 |
£12 ferry at 11.00. Walked south along the western shore, then up the steep path through the heather from above the southern lighthouse. Very tame goats with kids : two breeds - small brown ones, large white ones, a family of them guarding the cave. Oyster catchers, ponies with foals, bluebells, a chaffinch, a swan nesting on the shore. Grey day but a special walk. Well waymarked. | Owen B | 13/05/2017 |

Just in time to catch ferry at 2pm. Had an hour and a half to get up and down via the main path and made it with time to spare. Excellent path and superb viewpoint at the top. | AndrewFinnimore | 05/08/2016 |

2nd hill after Mullach Beag and a touch of scrambling on descent path to the return leg of the circuit from the pier. Great day out accompanied by Hal and Rose, an American couple i met on the boat. I found a fissure in the rocks that went in about 50m and still wasn't dark (suspected light from above). Cute goats, birds galore, interesting Buddhist murals and evocative old Hawthorn trees on a lovely day ended by a drink in the shop made by the aptly appropriate 'Finnish' woman. | Dazingdale | 06/05/2016 |
Parked in Lamlash and took the ferry over. Ferry owner says there are no strong currents in the bay, so if I go again I'll take my canoe. Followed well made path in a clockwise direction as instructed by the Monk(ess)? Great views all around, Eriskay ponies and spectacular cliffs. Very interesting wee walk. | raffemeister | 30/04/2016 |
Two and a half hour romp around the island with Jenny, Margriet and Rick on a lovely morning. Mullach Beag, Mullach Mor, Pillar Rock and the two lighthouses plus the odd cave, Soay sheep and Eriskay ponies. | Dugswell2 | 21/04/2016 |
With Jenx, Tall Blond and ticky Dugswell. Small group on special boat of four over to HI. Standard route round, done in just over two hours 30 full circuit. Jim and Russell are contacts. The Beag too. | nordicstar | 21/04/2016 |
