Parked in a lochside lay-by E of Sherrabeg and followed road to Glenshero Lodge. Past the fallow deer and along track until out of the forest SW of Meall an t-Sithein. 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 |

Parked in layby by reservoir shore, walked W along road then L on track by Glenshero Lodge. Followed track till close to Meall an t-Sithein then veered L and up the less severe slopes to reach fine summit of Meall an t-Sithein in mature woodland. Continued to Creag Ruadh (visiting all the options for high point) and camped just below summit. Continued to Creag Ruaidh E top, Black Craig then nice path to the Pictish hill fort of Dun-da-Iamh, visiting both summits. Descended via forestry tracks to the road. Excellent views, good varied route. | RobertP | 09/11/2021 |
