A worthwhile diversion from the path for confident scramblers is to ascend the rocky top of Sidhean Mor

Walking round the Lochs

Looking back to Gairloch

It was here in 1945 that a Liberator Bomber crashed with the loss of nine crew and six passengers. There is a memorial plaque and the whole area is a war grave.

The path now traverses some marshy ground towards Loch Braigh Horrisdale

Looking towards the Torridon peaks.

The path drops down beside a small burn to the track by Loch Braigh Horrisdale

Follow the track pleasantly back to your starting point.
