With two friends. From Spittal of Glenmuick. On tracks to Allt-na-guibhsaich then NE and N. On emerging from forest near Allt Vitch went up the east ridge of Conachcraig/Caisteal na Caillich over Càrn an Daimh. Went to summit of Caisteal na Caillich first before continuing to Conachcraig. Descended SW to join track back to Spittal of Glenmuick. A bright sunny day, cold but little wind. Excellent views of snow covered Lochnagar and the peaks to the north of the River Dee.pwbellarby06/02/2020
From Spittal of Glenmuick car park, along tracks through woods to N, then up Carn na Daimh from E, continuing to Caisteal na Caillich via S top, then S to Conachcraig, descending SW to Lochnagar track and followed to the ford at NO291858, which was impassable (for me, at the time), so continued N of the burn back to the tracks and return to Spittal of Glenmuickkdbennett24/11/2019
