Relatively easy if circuitous climb from Garmisdale. A bit breezy on the top today.

Ferry from Arisaig and a walk up from Glamisdale, well worth it, absolutely stunning views from the top.

Boat from Arisaig for this day trip and what a day. Superb views from the top. Manyt people on the summit. Ascended via the main path via Galmisdale Farm but came off the steep south side as I wanted to visit Massacre Cave on way back. Visited summit many years ago.

When I started up from Glamisdale, the top was still in cloud, but it was clear by the time that I arrived at the trigpoint, so I had great view in all directions. Pillar is in good condition, except that cap is missing from the spider. I didn't see anyone else at all until I was halfway back down again, when I met the day trippers on their way up.

The peak dominates the skyline of Eigg and the surrounding islands despite its relatively small size. Easier to reach than expected by a boggy path the summit has great views to Rum, Muck and the Scottish mainland. Blustery day.

From Galmisdale on a day trip from Arisaig. Sunny, with a brief heavy shower near the summit. See my blog post for more details: http://blog.alistairpooler.co.uk/2012/09/a-day-on-isle-of-eigg.html

Caught ferry from Mallaig. Past school of dolphins near to Eigg . Piped on to the Island by Donna the piper. Very pleasant walk to the precipitous summit. Fantastic views to other small isles and beyond . Excellent view of the Cuillens .

vgc, cylindrical trig, no cap or plug. Chilly day but great views. Continued NW to bag the P30m summits - heathery but fascinating (nice brown trout to be had in the lochans I'm told). Then descended S and walked back out via Grulin.

one of my most wanted visits for many years. Even SMC make it one of their lesser heights. Beautiful.

Another fantastic walk on Eigg (although I preferred the other trig walk). Was on my own until my descent when HOARDS of other walkers, including a large walking party, passed me - used the opportunity to get a rare summit photo, however, as retraced my steps to the summit. Not a tiring walk, but, for vertigo sufferers like myself, quite scary as once you've climbed through the magic staircase to the south side of the massif, it's quite precipitous. The red dots on the stones make navigation easy. Lots of dead Magpie Moths (and some alive ones too) en route, but little else wildlife wise. Look out for mermaids in the lochan with the island - I've been told they're there!

Spectacular scene. Barra to the west. Rum and Skye to the north. Highlands to the east. Mull and Treshnish Isles to the south. Coll and Tirree SW. Muck closes in and Eigg all round.

Can't remember the exact date, but I do remember the visit - as the SMC book quite rightly says, this is one of the most magical places in the Western Isles. A beautifully positioned Vanessa pillar, close enough to the edge of a 800' drop to give my wife (and the dog by proxy) a dose of the heeby-jeebies.

One of the truly magical places in the Western Isles - so says the SMC Corbett book (though not a Corbett itself). The headland of An Sgurr can be seen so distinctively from all over. On closer acquaintance the tower is quite awe inspiring, but fortunately there is an easy way round the back. Visibility poor on this occasion.

Day trip from Arisaig. Followed path to north side of ridge from Galmisdale to the summit. Dropped off the south side of the ridge to return. Cloudy, rainy, cold but still 10/10.

my 19th birthday after a week in torridon camping with three mates from school. Stayed one night on Rum and while wandering near the sea on one of the eastern bays, met a a chirpy laid back black guy who was so surprised to see us and amused us by saying in a slow laid back drawl,"Hey, how did you cats get here." One of my mates, quick as a flash and cool as a cucumber, said, "We swam, mate."
