After North top back onto summit path. Top just behind bench. Great views. Branched off on descent to explore SE shore area before arriving at Port Bawn. Happening area on beach with Clan Reenactments taking place. Had lunch here while removing numerous ticks from my trousers. Had a quick look at the chapel as i took the low path back to the North jetty. | Dazingdale | 26/05/2023 |

3 of 8 kayaking out from Luss. With Gooch. Landed near jetty. Good network of paths to the top. Onto the other tump on the island | The-Z-Man | 14/04/2022 |
Round of three from Balmaha. Traversed the island using the summit path and detour to North Hill. Very fine views in good weather. Other than a fisherman on a beach at the north, I saw nobody on the island and no motors to dodge on the loch. | fasgadh | 17/01/2022 |

With Mrs G. Short ferry across from Balmaha to this lovely peaceful bluebell clad island. Clear paths lead to island summit. Pity we didn't know there was a north top to bag! ***Revisited 3 Jun 2017 on a self-drive boat trip from Rowadennan with Rob Woodall et al. Identified a slightly higher point 3-4m E of the tree stump. | jonglew | 22/05/2015 |
Hired boat at Lomond Shores and landed at Port Bawn. Well maintained trail to summit where there is a wooden bench and newly fallen tree. | Lindsay M | 08/03/2015 |
