Sgurr nan Gillean

This is one of my favourite walks - I suppose I have to put that in the past tense but never mind.

This goes to one end of the ridge and it is all laid out before you but scarcely an inkling is revealed until the very end of the ascent. There is only about one place in the middle of the walk where it is easy to go wrong and it is a bit hairy getting back again so it pays to keep a close eye on the map!

On the way back there is a stream which will possibly summon you in. It is wonderful but the midges up there have a terrific bush telegraph and it pays to get your clothes on and move again very fast when you leave the water.
