Gongoozler visited on 6th Apr 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 No convenient parking by Auchnacraig where track to the site leaves the road, but if you go 1.2 km further down the road towards Grass Point there is a small parking area marked Grasspoint Viewpoint. As an alternative to walking back up the road and taking the track to Port Donain, you can climb up to the viewpoint and then follow the coast south The way is not always obvious but keep away from the crags. Pass through a deer fence (kissing gate, not ladder stile) into pasture (highland cattle grazing when I visited) and then through another deer fence onto rougher ground. Sometimes a path is obvious, some times not, and you need to avoid the boggy ground. Descend towards Port Donain, eventually picking up the track from Auchnacraig. On a good day it is worth descending to the beach once you have inspected the cairns.
