Allt a’Ghrianain

1174 Track - NH 31186 57093 (S end) NH 31477 57904 (N end) but probably continues southward towards Milton and northwards towards Loch Luichart. It is marked on the 1st Edition OS map and may be an old drove route. The stretch recorded here is very evident on the ground as a worn track between 5 and 6m in width. <1>
