My wife and I have just spent 3 lovely days in Portree at this wondeful B&B. About a 10 minute walk from the town centre and harbour, it is ideally situated for a stay in this beautiful village. The bedroom is well equipped with a fabulous shower room. Lovely touches like toothbrushes provided and a multi USB plug which is invaluable. Breakfast, which is continental, is served in a basket to the bedroom which has its own dining table and chairs. The basket contains cereals, orange juice, milk, croissants, meat, cheeses and yoghurt. All very environmentally friendly too. Plenty of places to eat in town but many are only open for limited hours due to staff shortages. Portree is a great base for exploring this beautiful island and the hosts are both helpful and respectful of guests' privacy. A fabulous place to stay.

Every so often you get a one in a million day.
A rare day.
A day when you can not only go to the mountains but the weather is perfect. It has happened once in all my time in the Highlands.
This day.
We are on Skye in Glen Brittle and Sgurr Alasdair is calling. Starting at sea level we battle up the steep sides to the jaw line, avoiding the scree, and when we reach the teeth, Paddy our ten year old dog has had enough. So has Elaine. Mum, Elaine and the Dog peel off, but Declan and I surge on.
It’s hot. The sweat is invading my eyebrows and I can feel the salt crusting in my shirt but it’s not so hot the view is obscured by haze. The climb gets steeper and for the last 30 feet we must rock climb; fingers and toes exploiting tiny ridges as muscles strain to lift. The top is like a canine tooth with just enough room for two people to stand if they hold each other; cliffs falling away on every side.
And the joy. The breath-taking awe as we view 360 degrees of topaz sky, with a feather cloud, and jagged mountain after mountain fading every shade of grey and pale purple into the horizon. And the sea, a flat mirror glinting its jewels, broken by distant, mysterious islands of silver and shadow hills.
I am speechless before such beauty and, in stillness, thank God for this gift.
Humbled in God’s presence. At peace in this timeless creativity. At awe in such imagination. A witness to perfection.
Scooped out of the mountain by an ice burg, the bowl valley, 2000 feet above sea level, nestles a hidden turquoise pearl of a loch. Warm against the harsh steel of granite. We ski down the Great Stone Shute, a 1000 feet, on scree which clatters in protest before us; the noise magnified by the cliffs booming, to the loch and bathe hot feet in it’s cool waters.
It’s the last good day before serious mental health steals Declan away.
When I changed my surname, I asked God what name to take. He took me back to this gift of a day.
My name is Janice Alasdair.

We had a few hours to spare after a great late lunch at the Old Inn so we headed up to Glenbrittle. The boys headed off from the beach (just before the campground) just before 4pm and were back 3 hrs later!
Apparently it was a very brisk walk up to the little lochan (need a moderate or above level of fitness to get there) before they started the climb up the great rock chute. Need a very good level of fitness and some climbing experience once past the lochan. They met the last 2 climbers for the day descending the chute as they climbed to the saddle then scrambled up to the exposed peak (highest point on the Isle of Skye) where the wind was so fierce that they had to sit to take a selfie! Very fortunate to have a clear afternoon as often visibility is poor from the summit. Enjoyed the slide down the chute and a little jogging on the way back (gravity assisted!). I was waiting at the beach with the youngest so they were moving along quickly and at 14 and 51 they reckon this about as quick as you would want to do it without it becoming hard work! (they stopped and chatted to the climbers as they met them on their way up - and later as they passed them again on the way back) - and took plenty of photos along the way. Both said it was a real challenge! - but great fun as well if you are into this sort of thing!

If you're an active hiker, this will be a moderate hike and scramble. If you used to be a hiker, like me, it will be difficult, but still enjoyable. Just keep going till you reach the top of the waterfall if you can. It's one of the most amazing views and places I've experienced. Of you can go late in the day, maybe 5, in the summer, the light is fantastic on a sunny or mostly clear day. We took a picnic and spent an hour up there, thus it took about 4.5 hours total. One of my top 5 hikes ever, so far!!

By the last day of a week on Skye I needed to climb Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair, so we set off from Glen Brittle camp site and ascended by Sgurr Sgumain before reaching the top of Sgurr Dubh Mor. It was a dull and misty day, not really raining, but there was moisture in the air and there was virtually nothing to see, so it was a long hard slog to the top, then we contoured round towards Sgurr Alasdair, which is the highest of the Cuillin Munros. There is a fair bit of hard scrambling required, and I was on a rope for extra safety at a couple of points, before arriving suddenly at the narrow and airy summit, where it was maybe just as well that I couldn't see the sheer drop all around. To get back down we descended the Great Stone Chute, which is a horrendous and never ending nightmare of very loose scree. I was so glad to reach Coire Lagan. This is a very challenging walk which took a lot out of me, and a week later I still had the bruises and scratches to prove it, but what an amazing experience! Doing the two hills took about 9 hours.

I set off from Glen brittle campsite early in the morning and headed to coire Lagan. The next step was the steep ascent of the 'Great stone shoot' which is quite tough as it's a very steep scree slope. It was a very cloudy day so it seemed a very eerie up there on my own. Once at the top of the shoot there is a very exposed scramble up to the tiny summit. It was very windy and standing up on the summit was very frightening that day but I carefully did all the same. Shame I didn't get any views but screw running back the shoot was fun and it was a great day out in the Cuillin with my own thoughts and fears.

Most challenging climb we did. However I would do it again. Amazing views. But be perpared for some seriously gruelling way up, much easier to do down. It said to be easiest out of all peaks in this ridge, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do others. :) still amazing experience.

I could not reach the peak as my confidence and energy was sapped - but it is a great peak to attempt and I'm pleased I tried. The mountain scapes are appealing and seductive.

I walked and scrambled to the summit of this awesome mountain in the summer. We walked from the SMC hut in Glen Brittle up to Corrie Lagan and from there up the Great Stone Shute and on to the top by way of an airy scramble. It's quite a tough walk and the midges were horrendous when we stopped for a drink, but what an awe inspiring place this is. I have been to the Cuillin on many occasions climbing, scrambling and walking and it never ceases to take my breath away. On this occasion I was accompanied by my wife and daughters aged 10 and 7. They are quite seasoned hill walkers and scramblers, so, although they found the Shute difficult, they soldiered up without complaint. The Shute is steep and the proverbial two steps forward and one back holds true. The upper section requires care as there lots o loose boulders which could be knocked free. The upper section is safer taken on the right beneath the cliff to minimise the risk of being hit by falling rock (although we did not encounter any despite there being several other parties on the route at the same time. I would recommend helmets for the top section of the Shute as it's walled in by steep rocks and a dislodged stone from above could do some damage. The scramble up the summit ridge is straight forward, but with young children I took the precaution of roping up. Unfortunately a misty day on this occasion but it di not detract from the sense of accomplishment and the atmosphere in this top mountain setting. The Great Stone Shute has already become legendary in our household. I'd recommend this mountain to any competent hill walker with a head for heights.

Great scramble over Sgurr Sgumain and onto the summit. You need a head for heights but a dramatic setting. Descent down Great Stone Chute needs to be taken with care, long, long scree gully.

Hi, I'm planning to climb Sgurr Alasdair in July. Do I need ropes to reach the summit?
كُتب بتاريخ 19 مارس 2015
Hello everyone.
Does reaching Sgurr Alasdair/the summit require actual climbing equipment at any point, or can it be done safely with a little caution, a good amount of hiking experience and common sense?
Secondly, how long does the actual circuit take approximately (from the parking lot due west, by the River Brittle) including stops to rest, photograph, etc.? I'm in good shape but I do take quite a few photos. :-)
Thanks in advance.
