Parking area |
A pair of buzzards are screeching above us as we walk up the pleasant tree lined route. Suddenly a number of pheasants burst from the undergrowth right beside us. This was to be a feature for the next mile or so, they are heavily reared here. Daft birds they are but brought smiles as they run all over the road in front of us.
Farm Beinn Mhor behind |
Walk straight through the farm but take care as it is a working farm. Soon you arrive at the trees and there is a track off to the left. I reckon you could take this and cut off the loop, but only if you are in a hurry, this is not a long walk.
Plenty of these |
Breaking out |
Turn right here |
The main route appears to head towards the masts (Laggan Hill) so we cut right and followed a muddy track through the heather, an estate vehicle has been here. There is an obvious flatter area ahead so we decide to follow it heading towards the crags that we could see.
The trig is behind and between scar & crag |

Trig |
We followed some sheep trails downwards which made for an easier descent in the first section before meeting up with the original track. I am always fascinated how in these remote uplands one tree always survived apparently growing through the rocks
Always a survivor |
