Have a great time!

One thing to watch on An Caisteal if you're climbing it, but not the continuation walk to Beinn a'Chroin.

I climbed An Caisteal in bad visibility on the usual route along Twistin Hill. I reached a prominent cairn on top of a rocky 'castle' and thought "this is the top".

The weather was horrible, so I decided not to continue on to Beinn a'Chroin. I went back down the way I'd come.

However I now realise I never got to the true summit, which is on a small plateau a bit further on from the cairn on the 'castle'.

There are probably some good TRs here with photos (in nice weather) of the summit layout.
