A bike round from near dulax 4 of 10robertphillips21/08/2023
A clockwise circuit from Dulax. Up Hillair then crossed to White Hill then headed up main landrover track to near summit and onto the small granite torrs that give this hill some distinction from everything else in this area. Headed over to CaE and then down track to Upperton road end and back along main road to DulaxJossker19/03/2023
I was going to do these 2 simms from Upperton, but on arrival the track rising from Whitehillock looked better and there was a parking spot at the top of the road to Belnacraig. This route gives a lovely high level walk. A double electric fence on Creag an Eunan has a user friendly crossing point at the summit. Creag an Sgor is topped by granite tors. On the way back i used the path from the col marked on map. I could see the line of this on the ascent and thought it good. Its pretty awful, the trough of the path has filled with heather or blanket bog. Ok coming down, but not good for ascent. Other than that, lovely walk.hils15/05/2022
With the Stockets of Aberdeen. Part of a ridge circular walk with starting and ending at Glenbuchat Castle's steep carpark.ragudave16/01/2022
Parking ~700m NW of Dulax (NJ 3470 1837). Good track all the way to Allt Sowan Hill, on to Rocks of Clais nam Bo and Creag na Gamhna. From there picked up a mapped track at Creagnadubh and up to here, lovely outcrop summit. On to Creag an Eunan -> White Hill -> The Hillar for an icy 14km round.jonglew25/12/2021
2 of 4: From Creag an Eunan. East side of rocky tor provided good shelter for lunch in snow shower. Good views after it passed. With Karen.ChrisR24/11/2021
Headed NW from Creag an Eunan187lenny27/06/2021
A quick and easy circuit from a parking spot west of Upperton by a forestry ford. Along the track below Upperton and past White Hill, then up to Creag an Sgor, a shapely cone with a summit tor. Good path to the top and faint path down the other side to join the track towards Creag an Eunan. Heather bash then a stile with insulators to the summit cairn. Down the track to Beltimb and road to the car. Nice.Gill29/12/2019
On TGO ChallengeColin Crawford21/05/2018
Had planned The Buck from the north and the others as a separate trip but a grouse shoot got in the way so drove round to near Whitehillock farm to the south and up track and path top Greag an Eunan. then NNE over fairly rough going to The Buck and back mostly the same way to Creag an Sgorr and down by the path shown on the map. This is a once well made and substantial track (stalkers?) now long neglected and overgrown. Rough going out to The Buck and back detracts from this as a walk but may be better than the bog on the N side mentioned by the others below.dickscroop21/08/2017
Ascended after Creag an Eunan by tracks from Smithyford on a very windy day. Fine rocky summit.JohnW11/04/2017
Fine rock summit once the messy and unnecessary cairn had been removedalda20/09/2016
After ascending the Buck from the NE I drove round to Glen Buchat to start by the river, a little to the NW of Smithyford. Tracks made for an easy ascent of Creag an Sgor and Creag an Eunan.pwbellarby22/04/2009
