Mam na Gualainn from Callert on Loch Leven

Getting to the start at Callert

• On the northern shore of Loch Leven by Callert, 4km east of North Ballachuilish, a right-of-way sign points into some birchwood in the diection of Lairigmor.
• On the road just behind this there is a lay-by to park in where a wet track heads up hill.

Mam na Gualainn

• Either head up the path that heads uphill from the right-of-way sign or the track from the lay-by.
• If taking the track, when out of the forest, it reaches a red-brick ruin - look for a faint path on the left.
• If taking the path, take care crossing the rooted ground when wet. Both routes converge and a wet path is followed uphill.
• Just above the 300m contour, a concrete post is reached - leave the path and head north-east directly uphill. Some heather is bounded over, the ascent steepens and then lessens as the heather is left behind.
• Further on a path gradually forms, which is followed to reach a gate in a fence-line .
• Through the gate, the path continues to Mam na Gualainn's summit with its cairn and trig point. The views are vast - The Mamores, the Black Mount to Schiehallion, the Aonach Eagach, Bidean nam Bian, Beinn a'Bheithir and over Loch Linnhe to Argour, Morven and Sunart.

Return to Callert

• Return by the same route - it's a fabulous fast run down the grass.
