Sgurr na h-Ulaidh from Glencoe

Getting there

• At the western end of Glencoe on a sharp corner of the A82 there is space for a few cars to park in a layby on the north side of the road.

Sgurr na h-Ulaidh

• Following the road, walk northwards and cross the bridge over the Allt na Muidhe. Shortly after this, turn left (west) and head up the track marked with a sign for Glencoe Mountain Cottages.
• After 1.5km, a sign points walkers off the track and onto to a path around the holiday cottages - in the past I've stuck to the track through the 'private gardens' to keep dry feet, though I'd probably now just keep to this 'path'.
• The path re-joins the track beyond the cottages and a further 1.5km further up, the track then passes some farm buildings and comes to an end by the edge of forestry . A path leads on and follows the east bank of the Allt na Muidhe.
• Follow this for 2km, then cross the burn and head up to Bealach Easan - the col between Meall Lighiche and Sgor na h-Ulaidh. Turn southwards and keeping to the grassy ground to the right (west) of the crags ahead, aim uphill.
• Meet up with the fence posts to follow to Sgor na h-Ulaidh's summit.

Stob an Fhuarain and return

• Leaving the summit behind, keep to an obvious path eastwards, then turn north-east down steep ground to a bealach. From here its straighforward following fencposts up to the cairn on Stob an Fhuarain , the Munro Top on the mountain.
• Head northwards and drop around 150m of height. As the ground levels out aim north-west and drop down grassy slopes to return to the path on the east bank of the Allt na Muidhe and return on the route in.
