アーガイルアンドビュートでののおすすめランニングルート

Awesome view to the Ardnamurchan peninsula and the islands of Eorsa and Ulva in Loch na Keal. Munro giants (Ben Nevis and co) on the mainland can be seen to the north-east. This is Mull's only Munro and it was actually my first ever Munro. It also makes for a great 'final Munro' due to the novelty/fun of the ferry journey over and the relative ease of the walk in comparison to other Munros.

Stob a' Choire Odhair is just about a Munro, with a summit height of 945 metres. The summit is often over-shadowed by the nearby Stob Ghabhar, but is still a beautiful mountain, and certainly worth an ascent - the two mountains are generally climbed together via their connecting ridge-line.

A pretty unpronounced peak on the ridge line up towards the larger Beinn Sgulaird. The summit itself is wide and dome-shaped, and offers great views of Beinn Sgulaird and the surrounding glens and peaks. The trail can be somewhat faint, but interesting and varied terrain.

A wild and remote Munro, sitting 937 metres high above Glen Creran and Glen Etive. It's often ascended via the south Ridge, a rough and almost alpine style mountain trail, which presents some great, techy, trail-running terrain.

A somewhat mellow and unpronounced peak on the ridge leading up to the Munro Summit of Beinn Sgulaird. This point can offer some great views over the nearby Loch Creran.

As shown in the picture, the next section of this coastal run (to be honest walk) is accessed by an old ladder bolted to the cliff. After the ladder the trail crosses the beach and becomes tidal with no escape path so make sure you have enough time to get to the fossil tree and back. The ladder feels a bit old but also quite solid, make your own judgment!

The fossil tree is a large fossilised pine tree, standing vertically within the cliff at this remote point. The area also has a couple of spectacular cliff waterfalls and fascinating geological features. The last section of this run from Burg uses a couple of ladders bolted to the cliffs and some beach scrambling. This section is tidal, so you'll need to time the run to suit the tide times and be careful not to get stranded, you can't escape, so You'd have to wait hours for the next low tide.

opening from 10am - 17pm
