A standard route up. We considered the scramble up the NE ridge, but I have my dog and didnt want to chance it.

Great lenticular cloud formations north of us. A sign of bad weather coming?

Nice summit cairn/hide-away. we needed it, as it got a bit breezy up there.
Actually, on our drive back to Durness the wind got right up at low level, bloomin' howling gale in the night, so we dodged a bullet weather wise
