Watched the moody winter sunset at 5pm over Loch Awe from the top car park on the smooth tarmac road of the old military road. A spare hour before arriving at our dog-sit at Taynuilt, having driven over from Aberdeen. In 1875 Queen Victoria came to see the blocky summit monument -to the gaelic poet Duncan Ban McIntyre (died 1812). | Chris Pearson | 07/11/2023 |

Train to Dalmally. Walked up minor road (signposted Monument Hill) to col, then short footpath to top. Highest natural point is probably beneath monument to Duncan Bàn MacIntyre. Back down same route to station. Overcast but dry, and a pleasant short stroll on a winter afternoon. | mainnirnamfiadh | 03/12/2015 |
