BEINN TULAICHEAN - ROUTE DESCRIPTION:

Location: lnverlochlarig, Perthshlre
Map: OS Landranger 56 ( GR416196 )
Distance: 5.5 miles ( 9km )
Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
Terrain: open hillside

Beinn Tulaichean offers a pleasant short excursion from Inverlochlarig, beyond the Braes of Balquhidder
and Loch Doine, and while not an outstanding peak in its own right the hill offers fine views of the
surrounding giants. The route provides a steep haul out of the glen, so exercise is guaranteed.
From the car park at the end of the road; walk down towards Inverlochlarig, last home of Rob Roy
MacGregor, who died here in January 1734. Cross the Inverlochlarig Burn and a signpost directs you over
the stile on the right beside a white gate.
Follow the muddy path round the riverbank to meet the track up lnverlochlarig Glen and continue
ascending to another stile and gate. Cross over and take to the hillside soon after that, climbing up and
left past a large boulder with a tree, to gain the southern flanks of the hill left of the lower crags. The
start is fairly boggy, so it’s worth making an effort to stick as much as possible to any high ground.
Once gained, zigzag up the grassy slope ( there’s no path ) to an upper band of crags which are easily
bypassed, to gain the broad upper ridge which gives extensive views east to the impressive peaks of
Ben More and Stob Binnein andacross Loch Voil to Ben Vorlioh and Stuc a’ Chroin. To the south,
rocky Stob a’ Chroin dominates the View with Benvane and Ben Ledi poking their heads over the
rounded lower peaks. Through a gap in the hills the prominent double summit of Ben Venue can
be seen in the distance. The ridge becomes increasingly defined as you gain height, culminating in the
rocky summit  ( 946m; 3104ft ). From here there are various options. Returning straight to Inverlochlarig makes for a short but satisfying day, while those in search of further exercise can continue to Cruach Ardrain ( 1046m; 3432ft along the connecting ridge. There is very little descent, but a fair amount of ascent to reach the summit, which takes a further 40 minutes or so. The best return is probably back over the summit of Beinn Tulaichean, although a reasonable descent can be made from the col between the two peaks, down the initially craggy then grassy east face to
Inverlochlarig Glen. This leads to the continuation of the track up the glen used at the start, which you
can follow back down to Inverlochlarig. If venison is your thing then on your way back to
the car park, call in at the Inverlochlarig farm shop on the right after crossing the bridge back over the
Inverlochlarig Burn.
