Was staying and Tobermory Campsite and it was a dry sunny evening so decided to walk up the main road for 2 miles to Loch Meadhoin. The house ruin that marked the start of the path up the hill has now been demolished and the area fenced off by builders with signs asking walkers to use the gate onto the hillside just west of this area. A beaten path through a bank of ferns leads onto the open hillside and rough path leads all the way to summit. Returned by same route back to campsite. 6 miles total. Great views from top across to Coll and Tiree and up the Ardnamurchan peninsula and beyond to Rum, Canna and Skye Cullin.Jossker14/07/2023

Here for geocache GC54029 The Crater Loch. Loved the description of this cache which contained, 'path can be wet and boggy in the wet months Jan-Dec'. Parked in quarry just along from cottage for a lovely walk around the crater.thejackrustles10/09/2020
From the cottage on the B8073 - a smashing wee hill.Chris Peart12/11/2019
An easy short walk on a good path from the cottage to the south. Nice views to Ardnamurchan. Parking east of the cottage seems OK. Although it looks like a passing space, it is not signposted as such and there are 2 other passing spaces either side of it. Given the popularity of the walk, I suspect it's meant to be a lay by.Gill22/09/2019
With Ian S. From ruin near high point of Tobermory-Dervaig road. Northwards on rather soggy path. Through gate and up leftwards to ridge and round clockwise, descending by wall beside outflow from Lochan ’s Àirde Beinn and back to B8073 by outward route. Wall-to-wall sunshine, would have been very warm but for stiff wind. Extensive views — Coll, Rùm, Skye, Ben Nevis, Ben Cruachan, and much else identifiable — but more distant peaks very hazy. No cairn at summit on this day.mainnirnamfiadh21/09/2019

With J. Started from the ruin on an overcast day with rain showers. Wandered round the lochan & then back to the car. Very soggy. A runner set off up the hill just as we returned to the car as the rain tonked it down. Clearly she knew something we didn't because 20 minutes later, the sun was out & it was (almost) tropical. A great wee hill for a short trip out.NotReallyABagger30/12/2017

A cold winter meant driving about the island was difficult and impossible on the minor roads. However a circuit of the crater lake was most enjoyable and we half expected the lake to slide back and a rocket to take off.mindlessflogger26/12/2010

Brilliant little hill. Ascended early before heading for Ben Buie and Creach Beinn.JohnW21/04/2010
Solo. Parked at former quarry at NM477527. Through stile at nearby ruined cottage and along path NNW a little to one side of the burn and forest edge. Higher up the path divided with one branch heading for the outflow from Lochan's Airde Beinn. I took the other branch leftwards; it goes fairly steeply uphill to reach a small col immediately SW of point 285m. I went left again to reach the highest point of 'S Airde Beinn (295m) where there is a small cairn perched on the top of a small protuberance of rock. Visited point 292m and point 285m.pwbellarby04/05/2009

Parked in quarry area by 3 lochs. On road to ruined cottage, stile over fence and WDP up through bracken by forest edge to lochan in the crater of the caldera. Around the south end of loch to top at 10.25.arranc29/08/2006
Parked at small space approx: NM476527 next to small building. Great little walk. It's almost a miniature mountain range. Great fun doing a complete circuit - Highly recommended for an hour or so.Jhimmy03/05/2006
