Free road parking NS 3588 9290. Mapped path up. Dropped off SSW, then W on grass. Patchy bracken on climb to Doune Hill easily avoided. On to Cruach an t-Sidhein, Beinn Eich and down to stile (NS 3255 9401) to Edentaggart (path indistinct - would be hard to find going up) where lovely lady with car parked at NS 3262 1414 (room for one car only) drove me down to the A82. Hardest part of walk was crossing that road! Excellent walk. | carole engel | 24/07/2023 |

From the Luss car park, over the footbridge past the house and through the 'kissing gate'. Up the ridge to the top. Good views, but bitterly cold. | LizH | 16/01/2023 |
Free roadside parking just S of Luss, where minor road crosses river (car parks are £1.20 per hour). Quick up and down on the ridge path. Good views. Unusual to share a Simm with about 20 other people, and there was a grey squirrel running around the top. | PGCE | 21/09/2022 |

With two friends. From Luss Village over the footbridge across A82. Followed the path, which starts almost as soon as you are over the bridge, up the SE ridge to the summit of Beinn Dubh. There is a cairn, but highest point is further NW and on the other side of a fence to the path. Continued to Mid Hill. Light falling snow most of the time. | pwbellarby | 15/04/2016 |
