This walk, taking in the two Grahams, Carn a Ghille Chearr and Creagan a’ Chaise, starts at a small car park just off the B9136 (154 265). We then head north for a short distance on a track, before veering west to gain the Hills of Cromdale ridge. From here we follow the ridge NNE to the summit of Carn a Ghille Chear. Our steps are then retraced back along the ridge passing the Coronation cairn (dedicated to King Edward VI), and then on to Creagan a’ Chaise. Here we find the Jubilee Cairn commemorating the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. From here we descend NE, turning east to pick up a track that will lead us to a tarred road and then 2.5km back to the start.

Note: This walk requires reasonable stamina and mobility.

Walkers must wear walking boots, carry WARM and waterproof clothing, hat and gloves and take plenty of food and liquids. THESE ARE ESSENTIAL. Be prepared for possible wintry conditions on the top, whatever the forecast.

Meet at Culter Village Hall at 8 am and return around 7 pm.
