Ascend from south as stopping in inverekie estate cottage. Hit snow at 550m with herds of deer. Then Continue NW to pictish fort through somevery nice woodland. Encountered some quite deep snow. Then return via forest trials back to start. | cjo | 25/02/2024 |
From Pattack Falls CP. Followed the Black Wood and Hiil Fort walk. Black Craig and Dun-da-Iamh. With Lisa and Daniel. | CJM | 30/01/2024 |
From Feagour, over the Dodd, Black Craig then followed the Blackwood Path to the summit of this Tump. Very interesting hill fort with evidence of walls etc. Minor navigational blip on return to Feagour. Forest road heading SW is discontinuous so had to descend over felled forestry to reach the path below which joins up with the lower forest track to Feagour. This tump is worth a visit. | NormanW | 18/12/2023 |
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 | 10/11/2021 |

On KMRT meet. From C/P to South. | ngthack | 06/03/2015 |
Carn Ban from NE, then E along ridge to hill fort, then SW from saddle to regain open ground. However the N slopes have been recently planted so this route may be less feasible in future. NB nice waymarked route from SW clearly easiest route. | RHW | 07/07/2013 |
