Mullach Clach a' Bhlàir

Mullach Clach a' Bhlàir, at 1,019 metres, has a somewhat insignificant summit towards the southern end of the great Moine Mhòr plateau — often ranked among the least dramatic Munro tops in Scotland — but the approach through beautifully wooded Glen Feshie, with fine views into the twisting cleft of Coire Garbhlach, more than compensates.

The route starts from a car park a kilometre short of Achlean on the east side of Glen Feshie. The walk begins along the tarmac road before turning onto a track, with a fast-flowing burn to ford beyond a gate — usually straightforward but potentially tricky or impassable after heavy rain. The path continues past the confluence of the Allt Garbhlach with the Feshie, forded again, before climbing gently through pinewoods and out onto open moorland. Much of the ascent from here follows a vehicle track, climbing steadily with views opening down into Coire Garbhlach, before a smaller path leaves the main track for the final gentle stretch to the cairn — the flat, featureless terrain here robs the view of any real depth, the most striking feature simply being the vastness of the soggy plateau stretching towards Braeriach and Cairn Toul.

Several descent options exist: retracing the ascent is simplest; a popular alternative traverses the rolling plateau north to combine the day with Sgòr Gaoith, returning via the Hunter's Path from Càrn Bàn Mòr; a further option follows the stalkers' path down Coire nam Bo, though this has become badly overgrown in its lower reaches; the simplest alternative descent follows a faint ATV track down the Druim nam Bo ridge, fording further burns before regaining the outward route through regenerating pinewoods.

The out-and-back route from Glen Feshie is around 20-22 kilometres with roughly 1,000-1,115 metres of ascent, typically seven to nine hours; combined with Sgòr Gaoith, the full traverse makes for a long, satisfying day of ten hours or more.

The vast, largely featureless plateau demands genuine navigation confidence in poor visibility, and the burn crossings on the approach can become impassable after heavy rain — this should be planned with a realistic weather window in mind.

The Glen Feshie car park is free; there is no direct public transport, though local buses run to Kincraig near Feshiebridge.
