This is a great hill, but the route I took wasn't brilliant. Went straight up to Sgor an h-Iolaire from Camlet - firstly through nettles and thistles, then heather and bracken. Not ideal running territory. The run from there to the summit on the other hand is delightful - mostly a decent path, and great views in all directions. The top is interesting - rocky with scattered old pines. From here the descent to the east (which I took) is awful. Steep, rocky and heathery at first, then an awkward fence, then a bog until you reach the path round the foot of Creag Ghiubhais. Took an hour to get here via Camlet from Littlemill, then a whole 30mins to get back. The hill is well worth the effort, but start somewhere else, either the west or the south.

Followed path from the house just beyond the phone box at Abergeldie to the top and then along the ridge to Camlet (again!) Down glen Girnock and back along paths behind the s deeside road to the car. Very windy
