Went with Tom and EJ. Bridges washed away on the road so we parked beside the broch - must have been lots of flooding! There was a shower of rain on the way up and misty at the summit but it cleared up on the way down and the sun came out when we were walking back. Atmospheric as the mist cleared with some nice rock formations. Beautiful waterfalls on the way up and down and great views with the river running down through the glen.
