| From Braemore. A rough track goes from Corrichoich to the bealach with Carn Mor then straight up to the summmit. Descended via Small Mount then back round N side of Morven. | sclater | 16/04/2024 |

| From end of the road at Braemore. Good estate road to Corrichoich, then boggy moorland track to base of the hill, then nice wee track leads up to the top. On to Carn Mor, Smean, Maiden Pap and return for an 18k round. | jonglew | 15/11/2023 |
| Route as per jonglew. A fabulously sunny, dry day. Spectacular views from the summit. Morven, Carn Mor, Smean & Maiden Pap, with Helen & jonglew. | Dangerous Dave | 15/11/2023 |
| From Maiden Pap. Narrow path south off Maiden Pap, then yomped across good grassy and heathery terrain to the north of Carn Mor, never dropping below 270m, with some sheep trods. Found the narrow path up through the heather from the col, better than expected except for an unavoidable bouldery section around 550m. Cloud base just below the summit sadly. | Owen B | 17/09/2023 |

| from Braemore then track on S side of river. Rough footpath continues to col and then up to summit, though it is sometimes difficult to pick it up again after the various boulder fields. Coupled it with Smean and Maiden Pap. One more Graham to go! | IanHHill | 26/06/2023 |

| From 'phone box car park at Braemore, up track to Corrichoich, then intermittent ATV/footpath to col with Carn Mor. Took to heather, later small boulders with occasional indistinct path (deer?) and odd cairn across boulder field and good path to summit. Reasonable views all around; Small Mount very appealing! Back to col and on to Scaraben..... | MichaelF | 16/05/2023 |

| Clockwise circuit of Morven and Scaraben etc from Braemore. Good path up gully on SW side as previous reports though traverse to get to it not so obvious. | daviemore | 16/07/2022 |

| Cycled from Braemore ro Corrichoich then faint track and path up to col under summit. A footprint path can be followed up the east face to 540m but above that scree makes it intermittent. Clouds descended over summit just before I reached it. | Topographer57 | 03/07/2021 |

| Wish I'd read beeliner comments. Found path referred to halfway up having started through heather and boulders. Much the easiest way up and down. | davefh | 25/06/2021 |

| Cycled from Braemore to Corricoich. Walked ATV track to col with Smean, then vague footpath to top. Great summit. Returned via Smean. | willyross | 10/06/2021 |

| Perfect November weather. The usual route to Morven from Braemore, ATV track from Corricoich then good path all the way. On to Carn Mor, a rocky cockscomb, then to Smean. I ended up traversing the summit ridge, not realising that there's an easy way up the gully in the middle. Greasy rock in the cold, so all fives needed on the way down. An ATV track runs down all the way from the summit plateau to Corricoich, faint in places. | Gill | 25/11/2020 |

| This hill first attracted us to this area having seen it from afar on previous holidays. From Braemore (parked by Phone box) and the 1841 bridge. Followed footpath signed Morvern through Estate - track takes you to Corrichoich (old Farmhouse) then path flanks edge of Carn Mor to reach Morvern - steep climb up (but a Joy) - fabulous views across the flow country and mountain views close to and distant. Small Mount with its grey mosaiced top just below. After the steep descent followed Coire Riabhach back to Berridale Water where we explored the aincent Aidsled House ruin. Then track back to Braemore. | briandavies | 17/09/2020 |

| From Braemore by the tourist route and back the same way. | KeithByTheC | 03/09/2020 |
| From road end at Braemar and along track and then paths and some tussocky grass to Morven summit. Ten across country in fine weather to Scaraben and Scaraban east to drop down to start. A longish day but enjoyable | dickscroop | 08/08/2020 |

| From end of road Braemore, estate track to Corrichoich headed straight up from east small patch of loose conglomerate scree & larger boulder field, left of outcrop where slope eased . On way down found a path SEish which avoided boulders & scree but was steep. In clag drat. | rogreeves | 03/07/2019 |
