If you're already staying at Culra, you can make a very easy ascent from the south along a network of stalkers' paths. The only snag you might encounter is the "ford" over the Allt Cam above Loch Pattack. This doesn't exist in any practical sense. I managed to boulder-hop across on the way out but had to wade on my return. It's more river than burn and obviously responds rapidly to rain. The one thing in it's favour is that it's got a reasonably smooth bed.
