This amazing viewpoint overlooking Castle Tioram and Loch Moidart is just a short diversion from the Blain Burn or Castle Tioram Circular walks and well worth the effort for some amazing views and photographic opportunites.  There are several routes up to the viewpoint, though we find this one relatively accessible most of the year.  It is best done after a period of dry weather and you should be aware that you are walking over some potentially very boggy ground.  Most of the boggy areas can, however be avoided by diverting a little from the route and keeping to the higher ground.  There are no paths, though naviagation is relatively straightforward using the lochan and Cruach nam Meann as landmarks.
