From Pattack Falls CP. Followed the Black Wood and Hiil Fort walk. Black Craig and Dun-da-Iamh. With Lisa and Daniel.CJM30/01/2024
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.NormanW18/12/2023
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.summitter04/11/2023

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. RHW07/07/2013
