Parked in layby at NN 5620 2762 for a circuit of Meall Sgallachd, Creag na h-Iolaire and Meall Reamhar. Went up beside forest. Handy line of old fence posts run from near 1st summit past 2nd and 3rd summits - saved me a load of hassle in the mist. Descended NE to old railway. | PGCE | 05/06/2023 |

A small diversion. | Play2End | 06/11/2020 |
A pleasant walk in the snow from the church car park near Craggan, up Glen Kendrum, then taking in all 5 tops east of the glen, coming back down the shoulder from Meall Reamh. The ice and blue skies helped make it an excellent 4.5hr round for me and Deana. | summitter | 02/02/2019 |

Superb views in all directions, with Lawers and the Tarmachan Ridge and Vorlich and Stuc a Chroin in snowy raiment particular highlights. | Nick Down1 | 24/02/2018 |
A very windy, wet and cloudy day from head of Glen Ogle.Initially up a poor track near fortest edge then compass bearing to main summit. Summit cairn did not match description in book so spent some time hunting around in the cloud before I was sure (and it did match the photo here. Slight error in descent befoer ascet to Meall Sgallachd - went down too far north and too low. After that straightforward following the fence over the 620m top to Meall Reamhar. Took poor line down to near disused railway viaduct which lead to some difficult ground - should have stayed more on the ridge. | dickscroop | 30/12/2016 |
