Did the whole Scalpay Heritage Trail which goes right over the top. Very boggy but a nice way to see the island and all the better for taking in the cafe at the Eilean Glas lighthouse, lovely home baked cakes. Stormy day but dry - good views to the Shiants but mist down on the higher Harris/Pairc/Skye hills.StueyB28/09/2023

With E. Beautiful autumn day. Bagged island summit and lighthouse while on Scalpay Heritage Walk.Beeliner08/09/2022
Simple walk from small car park up to the two cairns. Fabulous views. Solo.Dangerous Dave06/09/2022
Straight off the ferry and onto the heritage footpath, taking in Cnoc Loch an Duin, Beinn Sgorabhaig and the lighthouse, where we just made it in time for coffee and Kendal mint cake. Then back along the village road to grab Cnoc na h-Iolaire. Nice circular in warm September sunshine, and showers at the harbour added a final flourish.summitter05/09/2022

Cairn by small pool but heathery lump may be higher. Short diversion from Heritage Way but no time to visit lighthouse. Views of Shiants and lots of lochs. Walked back along coastal road assessing kayak launch sites.Denise 15/05/2022

Windy with poor weather forecast so stayed low today.PeteF18/04/2022
Followed the heritage trail round the island with a considerable detour for Cnoc Loch an Duin. Beautiful 11km loop with trimarc2 on a relatively sunny and mild January day.Fionalevey19/01/2022
As described by Fiona. Heritage Trail is worth doing especially if lighthouse is includedtrimarc219/01/2022

A few places to park at Ceann a' Bhaigh. Up the road to the lighthouse then noticed a faint trodden path direct to the summit. Returned via the lighthouse and headland, gentle coastal scenery, the way marked by posts (literature available locally). A delightful way to spend the morning, views across to Skye, very dry underfoot helped as there is plenty of the route on peat.pwheeler16/05/2019
