After North top back onto summit path. Top just behind bench. Great views. Branched off on descent to explore SE shore area before arriving at Port Bawn. Happening area on beach with Clan Reenactments taking place. Had lunch here while removing numerous ticks from my trousers.

Round of three from Balmaha. Traversed the island using the summit path and detour to North Hill. Very fine views in good weather. Other than a fisherman on a beach at the north, I saw nobody on the island and no motors to dodge on the loch.fasgadh17/01/2022
