Category: Munros,
I had been looking forward to this walk for ages and it certainly did not disappoint.
A noticeably cooler morning and the forecast was for a dry day so expectations high.
We started from the car park just north of the falls, no tourist cameras here. We followed the path which has been greatly improved by the National Trust for Scotland, great work done by them, and before long spot the small dob of paint on the rocks and turn left.

There were a few viewpoint stops to enjoy such as this one of bidean nam Bian.

Clouds are gathering but they arrived and blew through quickly and regularly making for some very atmospheric surroundings.

Another short steep climb gets to the top then a short wander to the far end for better views.
