Crossing the outlet of Loch of Rusness
Crossing the outlet of Loch of Rusness
Apart from needing to detour inland to avoid deep geos, the southwest coast of Muckle Roe offers easy walking terrain with short grass on the shallow soil formed by the disintegration of the hard granophyre into coarse sand. Paths materialise and evaporate from time to time as the terrain constrains the route, such as at the crossing point of the small stream draining Loch of Rusness. Two paths are apparent on the far side, one contouring nearer the cliffs on the right, and one diagonalling up the far side of the lochan. The latter was the one we chose, and it duly evaporated within a hundred metres.
