Beinn Sgluich, a lovely hill.

Sub 2000s: Beinn Sgluich

Date walked: 23/07/2023

Time taken: 3.5 hours

Distance: 7km

Ascent: 446m

We parked along the forest road into Salachan Glen off the A828. There is room to park a few cars passed the cycle track which runs alongside. A walk of about half a mile up the road takes you to a small track leading up the hill. It can be easily missed.

We followed the track as far as it went to the edge of the forest. Fortunately, there was a gate that we could pass through onto the hill. We followed the fence up and then left it to head onto the ridge. Nothing too difficult. The terrain is mostly heather and tussocky grass. Views were opening up to Morvern and Glencoe.

The trig point came into view so it was a pleasant walk to the actual summit. Beautiful views of Lismore and Mull.

Our return to the car was to follow in our footsteps. Two hours up and one and a half hours down! Great afternoon.
