Drove dirt road ~1km past Bunnahabhain Distillery to park just short of covered reservoir (NR 4093 7341). A round of 6 hills, this the first then on to Creagan Corr.jonglew13/05/2022
Relative Hills Society Islay meet. Solo. From just before road bend near Bunnahabhainn Distillery. Followed track west for a short distance before following ATV track N, across footbridge, and ATV track again. ATV and deer tracks to Sgarbh Breac. Returned over Margadale Hill and Shùn Bheinn to start. Fine weather.pwbellarby02/04/2022
A simple walk over from Sgarbh Breac. Solo.Dangerous Dave01/04/2022
Across the footbridge and along the grass track that makes the ascent of Sgarbh Breac a doddle, then SW across tussocky grass and minor peat hags to Margadale Hill. A pretty direct line to the south shore of Loch Smigeadail, then contoured around to reach the southern slope of Sgarbh Dubh, up which it is easily climbed. We doubled back to bag the two featureless summits of Creagan Corr before heading over to Giur-bheinn's NE top and for more majestic main summit. Once round Loch Guir-bheinn Deana spied a large gate along the forestry fence line, which once duly climbed through/over gave a grassy/sphagnum descent to a stone track leading back to Bunnahabhain. 5hrs.summitter14/05/2021
