Description
An ascent of this prominent hill overlooking Loch Ness. Although a relatively straightforward hill, its dominant position gives excellent views over Loch Ness and up and down the Great Glen.
This is a short day out, or even a pleasant way to spend a lovely summer evening if staying nearby in the area; taking in fields, a beautiful birch wood and easy moorland walking with terrific views of the surrounding area.
Access Info
Turn off the main A82 Inverness - Fort William road at Lewiston by Borlum Bridge, grid ref 513291, signposted to Bunloit. Go almost to the very end of this dead-end road, where you will find a small car park on your right. This road is steep with some exciting hairpin bends.
Additional Info
Near the car park there is a pottery which is well worth a visit. In nearby Drumnadrochit there are local services and a tourist office; there is also the "official" Loch Ness Monster Exhibition. Also nearby is Urquhart Castle which is impressively situated overlooking Loch Ness.
