NH3226454873 Follow the track west for about 1.5km, passing a pine plantation to reach the cottage just before the Mains of Dalbreac.

NH3102054861 Turn left onto a track running diagonally uphill, then along the west edge of the woods, with some nice old scots pines. Continuing south across open ground, the path zigzags up to a junction.

NH3130354221 Keep left on the track making a rising traverse east-southeast. Cross a couple of small streams to reach a larger burn, the Allt Bail' an Uillt Shios. Boulder hop over this, and stay with the track to make a long steady ascent south-southeast onto a broad bealach between the various little peaks. Carn na Coinnich can now be seen ahead, marked with a trig point.

NH3251051854 Leave the track to cross boggy ground, climbing onto the broad north ridge of the hill. This leads easily to the top. Graham-baggers will have noted that Carn na Coinnich earns you one tick off the list; for the rest of us, it's just a good wee hill that's well worth climbing for its own sake.

NH3245651051 From here it's possible to make a circuit via Loch Gruamach, Loch an Daimh Ghlais and Meall Doire Fheara; but for the easiest return (and this is, after all, a quickie) go back down the way you came up.
