Time - 80 minutes
OS Map Explorer 374
Grading - Moderate
Terrain - Rough track, rocky and muddy in parts
This
is a highly recommended short walk but muddy in parts. Follow the
B8073 from Tobermory along Mishnish Lochs for about 3 miles until
you come to a ruined cottage where there is room to park (if these
places are taken there will be room in the quarry just before the
cottage).
Go over a stile and follow the track up behind the cottage and
head for the gate. Go through the gate
and
keep on the track where you are constantly in view of the summit
of the volcanic hill, S'Airde Beinn with it's hidden crater loch.
Once
on the top make a circuit of the rim of the crater to enjoy the
most spectacular views in the North of Mull. To the east there are
views of Tobermory Bay and Morvern and on a fine day you can see
west to the Isle of Coll and the Small Isles. Return the same way.
