| From parking at Grotaig. Well marked, attractive, easy going hill walkers path all the way. Despite considerable overnight rain the terrain was still very dry after an otherwise long dry spell. Cloud base at 650m so didn't get the full views. | Owen B | 19/06/2023 |

| Along the tourist path from Grotaig Car Park. A popular 'non-hillwalkers walk' given the numbers I met while descending. Path very boggy in places. | benalder284 | 13/11/2022 |

| From Grotaig parking (NH490238), followed signed 'hill path' to Meall Fuar-mhonaidh NE ridge, continued along track to summit, descended steeply to NW, around head of Loch nam Breac Dearga, ascended Glas-bheinn Mhòr to summit by threading through knolls, descended E then N, following stream NE on W side of Mac a' Mhill, continuing NE to meet outward track at about NH474236, return to start (5h25m) | kdbennett | 22/07/2022 |

| Meall Fuar-mhonaidh and on to Glas-bheinn Mhor from Balbeg road end car park. Well signed and good path up to deer fence then continuing o a decent path to the first summit. Pathless after that but only problem was finding way down of the ridge - which is some fair way after the summit. From then on pathless also but no problems. Thought I I had found an ancient coin near the style on the way down but turned out after cleaning to be a 2p piece! | dickscroop | 14/04/2022 |
| Personally would not do again. Ok views over Loch Ness but badly eroded path, and numerous people out on it. Not a mountain to do if you are looking for solitude! Company: Mrs D accompanied me to 600m, then waited whilst I nipped up rest of way. | iandesbottes | 07/03/2022 |

| Up the tourist route past a sign saying stick to the path 01/07 - 15/2 Aye right. Very fine day and big views. Return by Nighean Mhill and Glas-bheinn Bheag accompanied by many flies | fasgadh | 01/09/2021 |
| Along the tourist path from Grotaig. One for a fine day: the views all along the summit ridge are superb. It was a relatively bite-free experience despite the still conditions: the midges must have sated themselves on Summitter yesterday.... | Nick Down1 | 29/08/2021 |
| Pleasant walk through the woods and moorland along a decent path from Grotaig to Meall Fuar-mhonaidh, then Oh the Flies! Descended steeply to Nighean a'Mhill and Mac a'Mhill before a longer stretch over pathless ground to Glas-bheinn Bheag - collecting an ever increasing number of flies, clegs and midges as the sun climbed higher and hotter in breathless air. Nevertheless, we pushed on to Glas-bheinn Mhor's East Top and main summit. Unable to stop to admire the view due to the bugs clouding our heads we bee-lined to the NE shore of Loch nam Breac Dearga and up a grassy gully back on to the footpath down to Grotaig. Several cold drinks later in the Pottery cafe revived our flagging bodies. 5hrs total. | summitter | 28/08/2021 |

| Self and dog by the tourist route. Could this be the highest outcrop of Old Red Sandstone (Devonian) conglomerate in the country? | Invicta14 | 15/06/2021 |

| 1 of 6: From Grotaig CP. Cold and windy for May but good views. With Karen. | ChrisR | 03/05/2021 |

| Cracking walk up to this superb viewpoint starting as most people from Grotaig. Instead of returning the same way we followed the ridge and came down to the loch following its NW shore to a faint footpath which took us via deer tracks back to the original route up the hill. We descended back to the car from here | Wayne Mac | 09/08/2020 |
| MC JC O From Grotaig up well worn path. Pleasant hill and no wind. To Glas Bheinn Mhor. Dropped down through western cliffs to lich edge and followed trackless wet ground to summit. Direct line to loch on return, to pebble beach and rejoined upward route via steep green gulley. | Martin66 | 01/08/2020 |
| From Grotaig carpark, follow signs for hillpath, up ridge way is pretty obvious to summit. 5km 1hr 50 mins, then off back ridge,then back to meet the end of the loch then head in a relatively straight line to Glas Bheinn Mhor, as per the Grahams book. However this gave 8km to 2nd summit where I clocked 9.3km. A few deer tracks were found but other than that a bit rough under foot. From top of Glas bheinn Mhor took a fairly direct line to end of lake,again a bit rough underfoot and up to meet path on the ascent ridge. Grahams book says 14km round trip on 2 Garmin devices I got 16.6km, 5hrs 30 walking time, but im not fast on rough stuff. | JulieB | 31/07/2020 |
