Followed deer fence upwards then through open woodland to the summit and a White-tailed Eagle welcoming our arrival. Back to the deer fence and onwards to Creag Ruadh, which affords superb views down Glen Laggan. Down to the craggy E Top then fence-following through open woodland to Black Craig. A marked FP crosses this and gives good access to the impressive ruins of Dun-da-Iam before dropping the forestry road below that leads back to the vehicular road to Sherrabeg. 4 hrs. | summitter | 04/11/2023 |
