Overview

Join Glasgow Young Walkers for a walk on the The Cairnwell Munros. As per Walkhighlands ‘The Cairnwell is the most prominent of the group of three Munros on the west side of the Cairnwell pass. The Cairnwell and Càrn Aosda are made easily accessible but also scarred by the ski developments; Càrn a'Ghèoidh provides a wilder diversion.’
