Come and explore part of Scotland you probably haven't seen before but that's practically on your doorstep. We will start by climbing alongside the Grey Mare's Tail (one of the finest waterfalls in Scotland)on a good path, continuing along the burn to Loch Skeen (a gem hidden high up among the hills). We will then follow a narrow ridge to ascend Mid Craig (729m), head up to Lochcraig Head (800m) and back along the plateau to reach the summit of White Coomb (821m). On a good day this walk offers fine views of the Lakes, West Highlands and Edinburgh.
We might see feral goats, peregrine falcons and the rare vendace fish in the loch.
