Uill hallo a' ribhist a h uile daoine .... decided to stay close to home this weekend and being a lucky laddie to live in Suaineart is A Mharbhairne myself and Mrs Colla comhla ris "an Cu" headed to Beinn Mheadhoin a 793m hill above the Morvern coast line and overlooking Eilean Lios Mór.

I m only 20mins from some great we coastal hills ,remote and very samhach or quiet

We set of at 12 midday an t side warm and sunny and the start point is at Loch Uisge a flooded loch which is part of a Hydro scheme

Its then a rough stalkers track up to the first wee cnoic

An rathad suas

With grand views opening up as the heights is gained down to Loch Uisge

A'coimhead gu Loch Uisge

and Ceann Ghearr Loch

Loch a Coire

The path disappears near the brim of Coire Salachain the rest of the way is with dry rough bent and heather taking you over a number of false summits very good walking with some nice wee scrabbles on rocky outcrops and a clutch of wee Lochans adding to the interest

Lochan Beag

There is grand sealtainn in this wee corner of Gaidhealtachd with the combination of Mountain ,Loch and Sea

A coimhead a Deas

The wind was cool air a mhullach but the vista was great so we ducked into a wee hollow and spent an hour in the fasgadh with warm sun beating down as we took lunch.It was an extensive viewing with An t Eilean Sgiathanach ,Mhuile ,Lios Mor ,Scarba ,Coll seen out to the West / SW

Air a Mhullach Mheadhoin

There was a grand 360 panorama and we could have spent all day up here it was grand

Ceann Ghearr Loch

Aird nan Gobhar is Shuaineart

The old saying that height is no everything was very appropriate on Beinn Mheadhoin she is'nt the tallest but she is finely placed and an equal to many a munro.I noticed a lot of ground on and near the summit that would be grand camping spots with a good view East for sunrise over the mainland mountains and West for the setting over the Islands ..that is for my next visit to this fine summit

Have only ever been in the Roshven area, and a drive round to both Smokehouses. Stunning area, as you mentioned, for sunsets. Worth a wee trip at sometime in the future
Cheers.
