Hill Burn Glen Lochy

This burn is swollen with snow melt from the small Munro behind Ben Lui.

There is a well trodden track up the bank of this burn which is obviously a commonly used approach by hill walkers. Yesterday I was working lower down beside the same track. To get to it from the main road (Dalmally - Tyndrum) and clearly this is how it is accessed the walker must cross a wide but shallow burn and the Oban railway line.

I heard someone on Radio Scotland from the rail network a while back on the subject of wilderness walkers taking to the hill via illicit crossing of the track.
His somewhat blinkered view was that it was illegal end of story. I have met people on the hills who (after weeks of planning) have driven over night from the south of England to bag two more Munros. Are you telling me people who are such highly motivated walkers are going to encounter the railway track and simply say "Oh well, we better just turn round and go home."
I can think of places around Achnasheen and Drumochter where the path goes up to the dilapidated railway fence and restarts on the opposite side just like here without any formal crossing arrangement.
