KNOYDART MEET. EASTERN SECTION.-The following information was supplied by W. G. Macalister after his walk from Glen Finnan through the bealach between Streap and Sgor Choileam to Kinlocharkaig, and then down Glen Kingie to Tomdoun. (1) Glen Finnan to Kinlocharkaig. The path up Glen Finnan was excellent, and continued past Corryhully about a mile beyond the point marked 514. (At that point a branch path trended up towards Coir' a Bheithe.) Through the bealach and down Gleann a' Chaoruinn there is no path, and should the burn be in spate, it might be advisable to take its right side soon, as the bridge across the River Pean is immediately to the east of the junction of the two streams. There is a bridge across the River Dessary at Strathan. (2) Kinlocharkaig to Tomdoun.-The track up the Dearg Allt has disappeared, but there is one on the other side of the pass on the left of the Allt a' Chinn Bhric. At Kinbreack, locally known only as Kingie, there are bridges over both the burn and the River Kingie. To get to Tomdoun it is important to note the bridges over the River Garry. One is at the foot of Loch Quoich at Ban Ath, and the other is at the narrows below Loch Poulary--not at Doire Dubh above the Kingie Pool, as mentioned in a note in the Guide-book. (S.M.C.J., Vol. VIII., p. 203.) This part of Glen Kingie is extremely boggy, and it is a wise plan to cross the River Kingie at once at Kingie (Kinbreack), and go a little way up the opposite hillside to a well-made path, keeping to it strictly, though it seems to cross the Allt a' Choire Ghlais needlessly high up. (A branch of this path turns north-west after crossing the burn, and emerges on Loch Quoich at the ruin of Coire Buidhe, joining there the path that skirts the south shore of Loch Quoich to Kinlochquoich.) At the Allt a' Choire Ghlais the path turns east for Lochan. Here, if it were sufficiently dry underfoot, one might with advantage be rowed across the lochan, and then follow down the right side of the river to where a path leading to the Poulary bridge can be joined beyond the Allt Doire Huan; otherwise it is better to continue on the path on the left side of the river, though it is a more roundabout way. It turns north after Lochan, and rises about 350 feet, continuing practically straight north all the way to the Ban Ath Bridge. At a point half a mile south-east of Meall a' Chait, where the path divides, the track running west-north-west to a bay of Loch Quoich must be avoided.
