creag nam ban and sqor an h lolaire from the west parking near abergeldie cottage, up through the trees and along the ridge line. | robertphillips | 12/11/2021 |
A nice little add on after an out and back to the Marilyn. Not much in the way of paths through the heather. Ankle twisting dead trees lurking in the heather slowed my descent west to pick up the outward path. | Chris Pearson | 26/08/2020 |
With Jenx and Bryher on a chill day. Parked down on minor road easily. Cattle and deer tracks used to gain summit slopes via gate that needed climbing. Great viewpoints the Dee | nordicstar | 21/01/2019 |
Easy walk up using track through the woods and climbed gate in deer fence. A nice top. | jenx | 21/01/2019 |
Ascended to the south of the summit through thick heather, having descended Creag Ghiubhais. The summit has at least three cairns and overlooks Balmoral. The mapped path to the north west does not seem to be used. Walked round the north of the hill to return to starting place. There are far fewer boulders on the hill than the map suggests. | JohnW | 24/10/2018 |
