Solo. From Chisholm Bridge car park. There is now a signposted cut through NW to the estate track and a handy small cairn on the right to guide you to a small path up to the summit. Pleasant, if very short walk but fantastic views of snow capped peaks in late October.DampandDusty22/10/2023

From parking at Chisholme Bridge. Took the good path signposted for the hill to its high point, then a short walk to the open hillside, eventually reaching a grassy path at about the 400m contour going virtually all the way to the attractively situated summit. Retraced steps.Owen B23/06/2023

The weather gods didn’t get the memo when I planned a caravan trip to Dingwall…….but I could a wee break in the wind and rain today. So I nipped up Beinn a’ Mheadhoin (613m), a Graham in Glen Affric, only took about 2:30hrs parking at Chisholme Bridge. Tad windy on top, so I’m happy I didn’t try for a bigger hill and quite cloudy to the west which reduced the views of those larger hills.chillyman820/10/2021
From Chisholme Bridge CP by track to the gate, then up NW slopes to the summit - a lovely viewing platform for Glen Affric -, then back along the remnants of the old path.Nick Down130/08/2021

From the walkers car park. Great views from the summit before another shower after a day of heavy rain. 1 hour 40 minute solo return.bolton31/08/2019
A very good evening stroll from the ridiculous new walkers car park. Why destroy the old CP and build a new one and a new path? Have these people not heard of GHG emissions from construction? Ah well, the new path is quite nice. Once out of the forest a cairn marks the start of an ATV track and well used path, so it's an easy walk. The path peters out below the summit climb. Lovely small plateau with various cairns and rocky tops needing visiting for the wonderful views.Gill07/06/2019
From car park, nice new path through trees. High cloud, mild and calm. Unsurpassed views again.iangalbraith04/06/2019
