Glas Bheinn

Rising steeply above the shores of Loch Kishorn, this rugged Highland peak offers a quieter, wilder experience than the nearby Applecross giants. The terrain is characteristically rocky and pathless, leading to a summit that provides a staggering vantage point over the Skye Cuillin and the jagged Torridon skyline.

• •The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'Glas Bheinn', meaning 'Grey-green Hill', a description of the mountain's mix of weathered rock and hardy moorland grasses.
• •From the summit cairn, walkers are treated to a unique perspective of the Bealach na Bà, observing the hairpins of Britain's steepest road as it climbs toward the Applecross peninsula.
• •To the north and east, the view is dominated by the Torridon forest, with the distinctive quartzite-capped peaks of Beinn Eighe and the massive sandstone terraces of Liathach clearly visible.
• •Its position overlooking the mouth of Loch Carron makes it a prime spot for spotting weather systems rolling in from the Inner Sound and the Isle of Raasay.
• •The hill serves as a perfect location for those who enjoy watching tourists tackle the Bealach na Bà from a distance, where the smell of burning clutches cannot reach you.
