This hill has a wide plateau top. We approached from the direction of Craigmasheenie and it was a tough slog over boggy, uneven ground as part of the Ring of Fire route. This area has such a remote feel.

Hiking

Even at the height of summer (and there has been very little rain this summer) this is a very boggy walk and you need to be very sure footed with good waterproof footwear. The views are excellent on a clear day. Would I do it again, probably not.
