I've been up Ord Ban from the path near the tearoom at Loch an Eilean. The view was good, but you can't see the castle on the island from the top. I tried coming down a different path, but ended up on the wrong side of a deer fence and had to make a long detour!

Hopefully Ticks, Clegs and Midgies won’t be a problem in April () unless it turns tropical, but maybe the 'Midge Jacket' will go in the pack, just in case..
I've got a Beaton's Midge jacket - they're a real godsend when the midges are so thick that they're like smoke and you end up choking on them!

BTW, the path around Loch Gamhna is very boggy in a couple of places.
