Solo. From Keiloch. After ascending Creag a' Chait, Culardoch and Bad nan Cuileag. The OS 1:50,000 map shows a footpath passing NW to SE a little to the NE of the summit of Bad nan Cuileag. Decided to descend using it. It turned out to be a track with obvious signs of engineering from the distant past. It must be the drove road that went from Deeside to Loch Builg. Lower down I could see Leac Ghorm so decided to deviate and include that hill. Muir burning over much of this hill makes for an easy ascent. There is a substantial constructed cairn on the summit although the highest point is about 20m N of the cairn. There is another, smaller, constructed cairn a little to the S. Used the track to the NW of the forests surrounding Meall Alvie to get back to Keiloch.pwbellarby20/05/2016
