Long out-and-back walk from Inverness SYHA up to here and Carn a' Bhodaich via the Caledonian Canal to start out with. Came up via the minor road to the south and then continued along the distinct path heading northeast from the trig pillar which then does eventually rejoin the Great Glen Way along good forest tracks some distance further on. | Alex C | 30/01/2024 |
Verge park alongside house NH 578403 (owner friendly). Path/gap thru' gorse NH 57724 40276. Short, sparse heather/grass to gate NH 577404. Trod/path to knoll and obvious track where left (NW) to good path to trig at NH 57570 40961 | carole engel | 02/09/2023 |

Solo. After gate in deer fence, I turned sharp right briefly and found the old track heading up the hill. Reasonable higher up the hill and avoids the new conifers and associated holes. | garbo1103 | 20/11/2022 |
Parked on minor road to the south at pt304m, SW of Wester Altourie. Walked along the GGW path then across heather to gate in deer fence at NH574 405. Climbed the locked gate, then rough ground of newly-planted conifers to the summit. Great views. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 08/11/2022 |

Plenty of parking a few yards up the track at NG591408, followed forestry tracks up past lochan then clear path up through gate to summit. Could be boggy near the top. | nicolajane | 09/06/2022 |
As per LizH, easy but grim - water logged and churned up by cyclists. | Isbjorn | 26/02/2022 |
From Easter Altourie. The supposed track on the 1:25k is no more and a largely failed plantation presents treacherous holes most of the way up. Cracking viewpoint at least. | sclater | 04/12/2021 |
Not as pleasant as I'd hoped. The track on my 50K map from buildings to S is non existent apart from gate in new deer fence surrounding new plantings. Having told my wife it was going to be gorgeous I was reprimanded for inadequate research. | jimbloomer | 07/06/2021 |
A lovely walk along a forest track from Blackfold, heading up to the summit cairn on a smaller path through newly planted pine once about two-thirds round a gorgeous wee loch. The path from Easter Altourie no longer exists. | summitter | 01/09/2020 |
From parking area on minor road at Blackfold, with Ellie dog. | BLACKHILL | 23/10/2019 |
Pleasant forest walk up from Blackfold. | willyross | 26/06/2019 |
From the forest track just east of Blackfold, marked as part of the Great Glen Way. Followed the forest tracks up to the lochan, then the path from NH58024 41338, all the way to the summit. Pleasant walk, with good views from the summit. | LizH | 20/05/2019 |
From workshop to south, faint gametrails but largly pathless heather | cjo | 27/09/2018 |
From the delightful minor road to the south. Couldn’t find the path. Doubt it’s existence. | Campbell Singer | 06/05/2018 |

Great walk up past the lochan and up to the trigpoint, brilliant views all round. | thejackrustles | 10/10/2015 |

Walked up from Blackfold. | Almanac | 21/04/2014 |
from s on very faint track, even non existant. Place of the slabs in english. | Adrian | 16/11/2013 |
Ascended from the south. A heathery hill, although the new Great Glen path gave a bit of help. | JohnW | 22/04/2012 |
From yellow road at Altourie then southeast back to the yellow road. | Alan Moore | 29/02/2012 |
