Sguman Coinntich & Faochaig from Kililian with John. Walked in along track alongside River Elchaig to the eastern end of Loch na Leitreach, then followed track North above Allt Domhain to where the track ended about 450m. Then aimed mostly north to summit of Foachaig. From there, descended down to join ridge to Sron na Gaoithe and followed it around to summit of Sguman Coinntich. Descened W and then N down to track beside All a Choire Mhoir and back down to Kililian. Total time: 7h 38min (including just under an hour spent on summits)mproudfoot16/09/2023

Biked to Carnach with Phil M. & John R. Followed stalkers track up by the Allt Domhain then NE to the lochans. Grass slopes to summit. Pleasant route.Dangerous Dave21/07/2022
From Sguman Coinntich. In the hill fog simply kept the steep ground to the left, descending to the col at point 638. Contoured south of Sron na Gaoithe to the next col at 650m. Then a straightforward plod to the summit. Retraced steps to point 638, then aimed WSW to the start of the path at 380m asl. Quite slow going but saved a much longer descent to Carnach. Then followed the muddy / stony / grassy track to the glen. Highland cows with calves on and near the main paved glen road, docile but gave them a wide berth. Then back to Killilan.Owen B21/06/2022

Cycled from Killilan to Carnach then round of Faochaig and Aonach Buidhe. Nice track/path up to 450m. Path down steep ground towards AB exists, but finding it requires navigation.Topographer5726/06/2019
