I parked at the Cally Car Park but this route could just as easily be followed by starting at the layby near Loch of Craiglush and following the path through the trees to reach Mill Dam. Talking of Mill Dam, that reminds me of ducks! Five of them there were, and scary
Well, at least Corrie thought so 
- scary ducks!
- name that scary duck?
Just before Mill Dam, there are now a plethora of signs directing you this way and that. We followed the high path to Loch Ordie branching right just after the bridge over the stream to head up towards Deuchary Hill.

We left this path just after it crossed a second stream where another narrow path takes you steeply up the south side of Deuchary, more steeply than my legs were expecting and I was starting to pech!
- steep path up - c'mon mum!

Storm clouds were brewing and we were soon being pummelled by torrential rain.

So we didn’t hang about at the top and headed quickly down the initially steep north side following the path to Lochan na Beinne.

With the rain clearing, there was time to paddle and ponder on how fortunate we are to have such stunning landscapes so close to home and yet so wonderfully peaceful.
- lochan paddling
- throw the stick!
- sloppy chops :)
Leaving the Lochan, the path continues gently down with great views to Loch Ordie and over to Schiehallion.

Soon this path crosses the track that skirts round the side of Deuchary Hill. At this point, you have a choice of turning right (North East) to head down to Loch Ordie, carrying straight on (down a very faint path through the heather) to join the main tarmaced track to Loch Ordie/back to Cally Car Park, or turning left (South) to follow the high path that contours Deuchary Hill. The latter is a very scenic route and my preferred option to the main path unless visiting Dowally and Rotmell Lochs. It also avoids the sheep!

Then it's just a hop, skip and a jump down passed Mill Dam (avoiding scary ducks) and back to the car park. A grand wee option for a shortish day
