On an anticlockwise circuit of Beinn Alligin,taking in the horns first Great fun scrambling over the horns with a view back to the back of Liathach. Mist came down as we were ascending Sgurr Mor & stayed until the end of the walk.

vgc, stonebuilt, no cap or plug. Perched on summit outcrop. Very tempted to carry on round the horseshoe on a superb morning but having done the Tops previously I was intent on visiting the Torridon Big 3 trigs during the day. Smoke from the Liathach fire but clear view from summit.

Very well built from sandstone and could almost be mistaken for part of summit rocks. VGC apart from the open spider. Previously visited this southern end of this iconic Munro 29/05/76 no trig details noted.

I give it a rating of 10 because I do not believe anywhere in Britain looked more beautiful at the moment we were there - clouds below us, blue sky above us and distant peaks showing through the clouds.

Second attempt after snow and wind blew us off in April. Got to the top with no wind but no views either! Amazing mountain. Did the 2 Munro tops and descended the same way. Too wet for the Horns and no views either due to clagg.

Trig and the drop!

Can't remember pillar, but did the two peaks of this fabulous mountain and then descended via the Horns of Alligin. One of my best days out on the hills. Golden Eagle over the Horns. Terrifying descent, but worth it. A 12 out of 10.

Ross and Cromarty. Good weather until going into cloud below the summit. It was my daughter's first munro and at less than four months old she slept through the excitement of reaching the top!

First ever summer hill in the Highlands, trig is not on the summit, but the rather substantial top Tom na Grugaich. On the usual route, so still visited by most parties and is currently considered a separate hill so attracting the munrobaggers. Very frightening visit as I was caught in a violent thunderstorm, still the worst I have seen in the Highlands, only one I have been in since was on Triglav (si) At least there are no wires on here. Pillar is stone built, but I did not linger. Still standing in March 2005. Photos seen from a fellow EUMC party on the hill that day - I was on Baosbheinn - No trig.

Superb weather, superb country. Previously visited 24/6/76, weather not so good - hence the re-visit.
