From small parking area a little NW of the distillery (NR 4174 7339). Sgarbh Breac first then a near enough direct line across to here. On to Beinn Thrasda, the Rhuvaal lighthouse and return for a 22k round. | jonglew | 08/05/2022 |

Cycled from Gruinart, then walked along coast - sheep and deer tracks with spectacular stacks and arches. Very boggy - weather v. windy and wet at summit but clearer on way there and back. Round trip ~5 hours. | iangpark | 02/07/2017 |
Great wee viewpoint with a nice peaceful feel to it. 
Fantastic bit of coastline. | ARM | 15/07/2010 |
