Overview

Out and back walk on the North side of Loch Lyon to Tigh na Cailleach, the site of a  small turf-roofed hut known as Tigh nam Bodach, which is home to a “family” of water-worn stones known as the Cailleach (old woman), the Bodach (old man), the Nighean (daughter) and further children. 

Good views.  Track all the way but boggy in places.  Ford the Allt Meurain easily in dry weather.
