Come down the zigzags of the Mountain Track and across the Red Burn, and at the path junction above the half-way loch turn back sharp left (all as Route 7). Before the path drops off the edge of the plateau, turn off right.

Cross grassland past the head of Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe to cross the trickle flowing out of the loch (a proper stream flows from the other end, which is accordingly the foot of the loch). Head up the grassy and somewhat wet slope beyond, then turn right along the rounded crest, which dips then rises to the cairned summit of Meall an t-Suidhe.

On Melantee (Meall an t-Suidhe), view to Loch Linnhe

Descend northeast, on a rounded spur, with a small path vanishing. At the spur foot continue northeast, crossing a stream then following it down, to find the metal posts of an old deer fence (marked on Harveys map). A small path and quad-bike wheelmarks run alongside this. Follow it down north, to reach the Allt a’ Mhuilinn at the 300m contour. Cross the stream at the metal grating underneath a deer fence, to reach a ladder stile on the upward path – or if the stream is full, continue downstream for 150 metres to a bridge.
