Overview

Even if the day is wet, we should be dry whilst having our lunch as this walk involves going north to Meall Bhuide, returning to the cars, having lunch, then going south to Stuc an Lochain and returning to the cars. We may reverse the order of the two hills on the day. We will be following the routes in the SMC book. All being well, we should be back in Linlithgow by 7pm.
