About Druim Comhnard NW Top
Rising above the rugged landscapes of the West Highlands, this secondary summit offers a quiet, pathless vantage point away from the busier Munros. Its terrain is quintessential Highland moorland—rough grass and heather that require careful footwork—yet the reward is an intimate perspective of the craggy ridges defining the Ardgour wilderness.

Did You Know?
- •The name derives from the Gaelic 'Druim Còmhneard', which translates as 'level ridge', a reference to the elongated plateau-like character of the high ground above the surrounding glens.
- •Positioned in the remote Ardgour area, the summit offers an exceptional, earned view of the long reach of Loch Shiel and the steep, rocky slopes of Sgùrr Ghiubhsachain to the west.
- •The ascent is most commonly made from the remote settlement of Polloch, involving a transition from managed forestry tracks into a wilder landscape of pathless peat hags and heather.
- •In the context of the Scottish Highlands, the description of the ridge as 'level' should be taken with a pinch of salt; the ground is frequently interrupted by the hummocks and hollows typical of Ardgour gneiss.
