Quinag Route Advice

The John Muir Trust which owns Quinag, in Assynt, and has been doing a lot of path and conservation work on the estate in the last few years, wants to advise walkers that they should avoid taking a direct route across the peat at the very start and follow a new section of path on a rocky ridge. A sign has been placed at the bottom. The purpose of the new route is to help habitat restoration. A map can be seen here.

The Trust also advises that there is a danger of rocks being dislodged taking an ascent north from halfway along the loch onto Sail Garbh and for this reason the Trust would like to discourage walkers from tackling this steep route.
