Short steep circuit from Newton Bridge, Meall Dubh, Meall Tarsuinn, The Scurran. Clouds above the tops. | RobertP | 16/08/2023 |
From Meall Tarsuinn, picking up the track W of summit down to col, which becomes an ATV track to assist ascent. Long traversing easy descent back to Newton bridge. | Minto | 20/12/2022 |

The Scurran, Meall Tarsuinn and Meall Dubh. As Summitter. | PGCE | 04/07/2020 |
From Newton Bridge, up the north flank of The Scurran, then over to Meall Tarsuinn and Meall Dubh before a descent to the river near Craignavar, where to avoid a wade a pleasant sheep track leads back to the bridge. Straightforward in dry extended conditions and benign weather. | summitter | 02/06/2020 |
From Meall Tarsuinn, picking up an ATV track on the way across. Some firm snow to cross around the area of the river, then pleasant walk to the summit. Beautiful day, lovely views. Descended towards the beallach, then to the east of the river, down to the deciduous wood, and the track back to the gate at the bridge. Lovely walk starting with The Scurran. Lots of white hares and voles. | LizH | 22/03/2020 |
From Newton Bridge a nice morning round of The Scurran, Meall Tarsuinn and Meall Dubh. Only complication was picking a route through the rough ground above and slightly to the west of the bridge. | dickscroop | 04/01/2019 |
