From Elleric following tracks towards the reservoir before finding a way up the steep west ridge. Good path over the tops to Druim a Viuc then dropped down the north ridge back onto the tracks beside the reservoir and back to Elleric. | cumbria mammoth | 27/10/2023 |

R LAST MUNRO OF 2ND ROUND! Great day. Steve | Richard Tait | 18/07/2023 |
With Rob walking from Druimvaic a steep start up a track striking up a relentless lumpy ridge into mist. Summit characterised by a major cairn. A long descent with an escape traverse brought us back to car. 16 Km and 1400 m of ascent. | david.walker40 | 16/04/2023 |

Spent the weekend at the Ochils Mountaineering Club cottage in Crianlarich. Saturday 28/08/21, I headed round to Loch Creran to bag the Munro of Beinn Sgulaird (937m). There was thick mist at sea level, but I was above this at around 200m. The mist lifted a bit during the day, but it still blocked any views of the sea, with Ben More on Mull, sticking above the mist. 06:50hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 28/08/2021 |
Even hotter than Beinn Challum was yesterday- no wind at all and no cloud, roasting temperatures! End of the line for Raichle Mids too - RIP. Thankfully could tell the soles were on the way out so had scarpa boots in rucksack… | jonbowyer | 26/08/2021 |
Beinn Fhionnlaidh, An Grianan, Beinn Sgulaird from Glen Creran. A lot of pathless walking - failed miserably to find a good way down from Beinn Sgulaird! | Geoff Briggs | 08/08/2021 |
3rd visit. On route between Beinn Sgulaird North Top and Meall Garbh. | PGCE | 29/06/2021 |

From Druimavuic, past rhododendrons blooming in the gardens bordering the track, turning onto the S ridge of Beinn Sgulaird at the cairn, detouring from the path to Druim a'Vuic, over BS South Top, Meall Garbh , BS and BS North Top. Superb views over lochs Creran and Etive and into the Central Highlands from the North Top. On return, I cut down after Meall Garbh to pick up the start of the track leading to Druimavuic. This took a fair amount of weaving around to avoid crags and steep grass, so keeping to the path on the return is probably preferable. | Nick Down1 | 15/05/2021 |
From Druimavuic - route up to bealach at the top of the path then up to the south top , fairly consolidated snow on the way up - care (and axe) needed on descent down from the South Top towards Meall Garb and down from Meall Garbh to towards the summit. The track was icy from around 300m up to the snow line. | mproudfoot | 02/01/2021 |

Climbed from Elleric, up the ugly landrover track beside Glen Ure. The east ridge of Sgulaird, many ups and downs. 3.5 hours from car park. Stunning views. Rreturned to track for cross country to Beinn Fhionnlaidh. | Rob Rees | 23/06/2019 |
Ascent of Beinn Sgulaird from Druimavuic. Anticlockwise route, ascending ridge line before descending the west flank of Beinn Sgulaird. | welshyboyo | 08/08/2018 |
From Druimavuic - ascent and descent via ENE Ridge. Lots snow above 500m. Little shelter from strong E wind - progress difficult in places. Descent and re-ascent over subsidiary summits easy enough in snow, but couldn’t descend to Taraphocain as holding too much snow, so reversed route out | wychwood | 10/03/2018 |

With Tash😀, stupidly hot at start at 9am. | pigerg | 24/07/2017 |
Up the visible-for-miles track from the layby just north of Druimavuic: it's on the 1:25000 but not yet the 1:50000. At the 550m col, we left the track and headed north up the steep slope to the 863m top. Returning, took the path west of 863m towards 488m; hard to say which route is preferable. | Pete R | 22/07/2017 |

Solo fr Druimavuic; ran up most of track then contoured to ridge, back over all 3 tops. Lovely calm mild day w tops clear but high white cloud rendering lighting a bit flat, still got distant clear views. Delightful day. (Drive home a 13h-nightmare though!) | NorfolkPT21 | 18/08/2015 |
good views, a cold wind at the top started to rain on the walk off | FCMark | 08/08/2015 |
