| From pt 358 on the Schiehallion road. Along the track, through heather and over a tumbledown wall and fence to the top of Meall Dubh, down its eastern end, up track almost to Speirean Ruadh summit, descending N to the road to make a circuit. Excellent views, particularly from Meall Dubh. | Nick Down1 | 03/03/2023 |

| Parked in the Schiehallion car park. Along the road to a gate at NN73664 56304, then down and across Alan's bridge. Followed the ATV track from the bridge to within 140m of the summit, then followed animal tracks up through the steeper ground and to the summit. Returned round to the west of the crags to rejoin the ATV track back to the bridge. Good wee hill. | LizH | 03/11/2021 |
