DIRECTIONS<br />

1 From the small car park<br />

just after the turn to Shulista<br />

(NG 423 743), take the path<br />

signposted to Rubha Hunish,<br />

along a low escarpment to a<br />

kissing gate in the sheep<br />

fence.<br />

1.6km/1 mile<br />

2 Once through the gate<br />

(NG 414 756), head up to the<br />

gap between Meall Tuath and<br />

Meall Deas. Turn R up the<br />

slope for 300 yards to reach<br />

The Lookout <strong>bothy</strong><br />

(NG 412 765).<br />

0.8km/0.5 miles<br />

3 Return to the gap, climb<br />

over two stiles in quick<br />

succession, to a kissing gate.<br />

Scramble down a weakness in<br />

the cliffs to Rubha Hunish. The<br />

first few steps are a little<br />

exposed, but then the descent<br />

is relatively easy. A number of<br />

sheep trails criss-cross the<br />

headland, one leading to the<br />

most northerly point.<br />

1.6km/1 mile<br />

4 After exploring the<br />

coastline, return up the rocky<br />

staircase, retracing your route<br />

down the path to the car park.<br />
