| Beinn Fhionnlaidh (Finlay's Hill) from the car park at Elleric. Followed the private road thru Glenure, well signed with way markers. Then up the well-defined track that winds itself all the way up the delectable ridge to the trig at the summit of the Munro (7.5km, 960m ascent, in 2h40m to here), with a grand view to Bidean and the Glen Etive Hills, and also out to sea. Descended steeply down and further along the ridge to bag the East Top. Returned back to Elleric by the outward route. Altogether 18km with 1200m ascent taking 6h30m. | silveracorn_alan | 30/05/2022 |

Descended the western slopes to Glenure Lodge. Great descent but tortuous ascent route, I would think. | Rob Rees | 23/06/2019 |
