Beinn Tarsuinn, Beinn Bhreac, Beinn Bhiorach and Meall Mor from Lochranza. | Chris Peart | 06/07/2023 |
Second visit, with Chris Peart. We were ambushed by a fierce squall as we approached the summit, continuing long into the grim descent to Lochranza. Soaking, over my head bracken was a delightful way in which to finish the day | Colin Crawford | 06/07/2023 |
Kong MM Day 2. Beinn Bhreac, Beinn Tarsuinn. | Geoff Briggs | 28/08/2022 |
Not much heather going up from Lochranza Distillery and bracken still low and not thick. However, pretty tussocky and quite slippery on the descent | Kiltie | 21/06/2022 |
Last of 4 for the day from the Lochranza Centre with Dangerous Dave. We descended to 946492 to avoid the bracken after Beinn Bhreac, Bhiorach and Creag na h-Iolaire. Just under 9 miles and just over 7 hours in great dry conditions and blues skies. | bolton | 20/06/2022 |
Circular clockwise route from Lochranza Field Centre with bolton. Beinn Bhreac, Beinn Bhiorach, Creag na h-Iolaire & Meall Mor. Simple direct descent east from the summit to join the path back to Lochranza. | Dangerous Dave | 20/06/2022 |
Arran Mountain Festival walk, along with Beinn Bhreac, Beinn Bhiorach and Cnoc Leacainn Duibhe. Via Glen Catacol then Gleann Diamhan. | DavieRuts | 16/05/2021 |

Too late start up this first of four, on way to Marilyn to south and knew I'd probably run our of light. | vegibagger | 21/11/2017 |
First hill of the day on route to Gill and Jez's Corbett completion. Turned out to be an absolute cracker. | Alex C | 18/11/2017 |
Large cairn but outcropping rock a few m away may be a little higher. With Richard, Rick, Jenny, Bryher and Tony Smith. Very windy. Ascended from Lochranza Youth Hostel. | Denise | 17/11/2017 |
6 degrees at Lochranza, frequent heavy showers on stiff westerlies. From SYHA then route 1 from field study centre. Could hardly stand on summit in wind and rain. On to Craig na h-Iolaire. | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/11/2017 |
Chilly wind on the top nearly blew the pup away! | jenx | 17/11/2017 |
WIth Jenx and Bryher plus Denise and Richard McL and Tony Smith. Walked from hostel and cut up onto hill at first lane in Lochranza that seemed to be going the right way! Steep up to 300m following deer tracks then across valley rim to slopes of Meall Mhor. Stiff cold winds blowing from SW made for chilly going and a huddle in the lee of the cairn. Others went for tops further west, we headed SW into the glen and a challenging line towards Torr Nead an Eoin | nordicstar | 17/11/2017 |
With Denise, Tony S, Rick, Jen and enthusiastic dog Bryer. Easily up grassy N shoulder crossing 2 false summits, one with a large cairn. Fairly constant 50mph W wind at summit. Overcast with high peaks to the S in racing cloud. | RichardM | 17/11/2017 |
Beinn Tarsuinn South and main top, Bheheinn Bhreac, Beinn Bhiorach, Creag na h-Iolaire, Meall Mor & Creagan nan Caorach for good measure! With Phil and Yappy dog Blue. | Mountain Goat | 11/06/2017 |

2nd hill of 7 today on a circular from Lochranza. After Torr Nead an eoin, i dropped down a rocky gorge that drops into the Gleann easan Biorach and used a burn to ascend before climbing direct to the summit. I continued on by descending South and reascending to Bheinn Bhiorach. | Dazingdale | 11/05/2016 |
