Scottish National Trail: Shenavall to Inverlael
A steep climb reaches high, barren, and boggy moorland which must be crossed before an estate track leads down to the A832. From there, footpaths and minor roads lead over high moorland again, passing a few small lochs, and descending once more to A832 near the sea.
