>>2806078If I was to reccomend one deviation, it's a very short one. But worth if it's clear.
When you're coming through the strathcarron wilderness, you'll pass a non MBA bothy, and then over a flat boggy valley where you will reach Bearnis bothy
there are a few deviations here, but the most popular one is where you pass directly over the hill behind it, and down into craig
you go to a pass at 600m, but if you veer north east and head up the hill to (your right), it goes to 800m or so and is called Sgùrr na Feartaig
My God
the views there were unreal
You can see super far east, but alot is blocked by the Munros across the valley
but looking north and west...
it's one of the most beautiful spots I've ever been
You see all the torridon ranges in the most magnificent angle, and all the way down to the sea, where Skye's cullins dominate the horizon, among other, lesser islands
It's satisfying because you look back and get an eagle eye'd view of what you just struggled over, and it makes it all feel worth it
If you get a clear day DON'T MISS THIS PEAK !
Also: Sealskinz waterproof socks. They are livesavers, trust me
I hope you enjoy the Scottish National Trail, it was certainly the time of my life,
May you also have an experience that moves you, in the way that the trail moved me
Good luck soldier
