From main summit and on to Barr Mor. The drystane dykes in this area are impressive.sclater05/01/2022
11th and final top of the day on a circuit from Kilmartin, approached from Maol Achadh-bheinn, a simple descent and reascent to the top. Descent Wnw to reach track and followed this all the way back to Kilmartin, briefly visiting an attractive waterfall just off the track. Afterwards Kilmartin hotel perfectly situated for food!Dazingdale07/09/2021
Via Kilmartin. Along with South Top. A wet Father's Day.DavieRuts20/06/2021
Up the Ballibrad track from Kilmartin, taking the first available right turn, which leads to the west side of Maol achadh-bheinn. A quick climb up its grassy slopes then over a well-built stone wall to its neighbouring North Top. Animal tracks help route-find amongst the complex terrain to Beinn Bhan, the higher level ground perhaps being the easiest to navigate. Then baby-heads and bracken on the NW passage to Creag Bhreac, a handy stone track making the final climb to its top much easier than would otherwise be the case. The steady rise to Barr Mor is relatively hazard free, then simply a drop down back to the Ballibrad track and the historical and touristic delights of Kilmartin.summitter16/05/2021
