after Beinn Dubhjef09/06/2023
Descended the steep but benign grassy slope from Beinn Eich north east, easily over the stream, then a fairly steep plod on good grassy ground. Descended north down steep but again benign grassy slopes to the track at Inveruchitan, and found a way across the main glen stream with only slightly wet feet to return to the car on the other side, saving a detour to the bridge at Doune.Owen B22/04/2023

Revisit. An easy walk over from Beinn Dubh with Gavin & Steve.Dangerous Dave19/03/2022
A nasty early start from the Invergroin CP for a round of 4 Luss Grahams from Doune. Decent ATV track up the glen and over the river to get through tussocks and onto the W ridge of Mid Hill easy enough to top. Down good but steep, then boggy path to road and detour around Edentaggart, over Beinn Eich, traverse to Cruach an t-Sithein, then back to Doune Hill, Doune Hill E top, then the steep and sh1tey ATV track back to Doune.Gill16/03/2022
Parked up the road about a half mile from Luss at 351934. Walked the road and directly to the summit. Sporadic rain but little wind. Descended down the ridge over the Sim. With Anne B.bolton14/03/2022

Parked at Luss. Intended to cycle up glen but bike broke, so walked, starting 9:05. Good path over Beinn Dubh to Mid Hill (11:15). Then trackless descent of W ridge before long climb up to Doune Hill. Made for col, missing NE top, then up to summit (13:05). Continued to Cruach an t'Sidhean, contouring Beinn Lochain. Trackless again, steeply up fence to summit (14:20). Back to col, contoured S of B Lochain then up ridge to Beinn Eich (15:50). Followed path down ridge to Edentaggart and back to Luss (17:40). Dry, some sun, warm; wet underfoot initially after rain. Higher tops around under cloud, but good views. Good day.dbb14/09/2020

13th hill of 14 today on an epic horseshoe of the Luss hills from the Alderdale b&b in Luss climbing Cruach Dubh,Beinn Ruisg, Cruach an Leinibh, Balcnock, Beinn Tharsuinn, Beinn Chaorach, Beinn a'Mhainach, Cruach an t- Sidhein,Beinn Lochain, Doune hill, Doune Hill East top then profiling around to Beinn Eich and back descending into Glen Mollochan, over two burns then ascended the West ridge. Pretty tired, darkness descending so donned head torch. Pretty tough getting up this one (reminded me of the Mourne wall challenge in Northern Ireland). After reaching the summit, that my gps recorded as 680m @ NS32144 96264 i headed over to Beinn Dubh, the final top of the day.Dazingdale03/10/2017

With two friends. From Luss village to Beinn Dubh. Continued on path from Beinn Dubh to the summit of Mid Hill. There are two cairns on Mid Hill, the first one being medium size and the second, to the SW, small. The second cairn looks to be higher. Descended on path down SE slopes to Glen Luss and then on the road back to Luss. Passed no vehicles on the road.pwbellarby15/04/2016
