The mountain footpath from Achintee is the most frequented route with hundreds of walkers climbing to the top every year. The track follows along the side of Meall an t-Suidhe before reaching the Red Burn. After the burn the path climbs in a series of long winding zig-zags before reaching the summit plateau. The photograph is from 'Loyal Lochaber. Historical Genealogical and Traditionary' by W Drummond Norie, Glasgow, 1898.
