Tom Bailgeann 464m. Stratherrick, Section 9b
OS 1:50000 sheets 26 and 35 GR NH588295
4th January 2003

Tom Bailgeann from Creag nan Clag

 

  The trig.

 
  The summits: the OS summit is behind the mast, but I suspect that the foreground cairn is higher.

 Loch Ness and Carn a'Bhoideach from the North Summit.

South of Loch Ness there is a very rugged group of craggy hills and big lochs. An area that is well worth a visit and away from the usual hill round.

Tom Bailgeann is an ideal quickie, but has suffered a mast and a very badly built bulldozed road to the summit. Cheap, steep and very nasty, it is going to erode into something very horrible. Fortunately on this occasion it was frozen up and gave easy going.

The summit is a mystery. The 1:50 000 map only showa one top, but there is another to the north. This appears to be higher, but is surveyed at 462m. Even if lower its worrth going over as you get a view of the Loch from here. Not as good a view as from Beinn a'Bhacaidh but well worth a look. No mast either.
