We parked in a layby about 500m west of The Sligachan Hotel and headed up the track towards Alltdearg House. It was cloudy and damp but with better weather forecast we pressed on up to the lochans at Bealach a&#8217; Mhaim. Here we turned south east and headed up the west ridge of Bruach na Frithe.

As a result we got a fantastic view of a rainbow in Fionn Choire before descending through it back to the car.<\/p>\n<p>Tea and scottish scones were taken at The Sligachan Hotel to celebrate a truly remarkable week of walking variety and five more Munros successfully put into my bag.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"1261-1\" class=\"gallery gallery-1261 gallery-col-1 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure class='gallery-item col-1' itemprop='associatedMedia' itemscope itemtype='http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'><a href='https:\/\/www.gentianclub.org.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Skye-May-2017-Day-6-1.jpg' itemprop=\"contentURL\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.gentianclub.org.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Skye-May-2017-Day-6-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gentianclub.org.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Skye-May-2017-Day-6-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gentianclub.org.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Skye-May-2017-Day-6-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gentianclub.org.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Skye-May-2017-Day-6-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gentianclub.org.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Skye-May-2017-Day-6-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" aria-describedby=\"figcaption-1261-1262\" itemprop=\"thumbnail\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
