This is a circular walk - approx. 4 miles

This is a there & back walk - approx 3 miles all together. The path can get a bit wet in winter. There is a small car park about 1/3 of a mile south of the Tearoom. You then cross the road & follow a cart-track through fields. Dogs should be kept on a lead.

Several mountaineers now direct their footsteps to another of these western peaks, and in this neighbourhood a "Graham", Beinn Bharrain, is now attracting more attention than it once did. A track from Pirnmill Post Office leads to open ground along the Allt Gobhlach, and a tributary which rises in the recess of Coire Roinn. There are some entertaining scrambles to be had on the ridge to the east of the hollow though the less adventurous may opt for the ridge nearest the sea for the ascent. The bare summit ridge curves in a lazy arc to the crown of the mountain and around Glas Choirein to Beinn Bhreac. It is worth extending the walk northwards to descend by the ridge towards the col before Meall Bhig, to drop to the hollow of Fhionn Lochan to pick up the path down to Mid Thundergay. The views across Kilbrannan Sound to the Mull of Kintyre and glimpses of the Paps of Jura compliment those to the secretive Loch Tanna with its backdrop of the high ridge-line between Beinn Nuis and Caisteal Abhail. Chose a good day of spring or autumn as the mountain assuredly deserves greater acclaim.
