Boc Mor NE Top

Situated in the rugged heart of the Applecross peninsula, this high point offers a quiet alternative to the busier neighbouring peaks. At nearly 578 metres, its terrain is characteristically Scottish: a mix of peat hags, heather, and Torridonian sandstone, providing a wild sense of isolation and expansive views across the Inner Sound.

• •The name Boc Mòr is derived from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'Great Buck', likely a reference to the red deer that frequent these high sandstone plateaus.
• •The summit provides an exceptional view across the water to the Trotternish Peninsula on Skye and the sharp peaks of the Black Cuillin.
• •Most walkers include this top as an extension to a circuit of the Applecross hills, utilizing the high starting point of the Bealach na Bà road pass to stay above the 500-metre contour.
• •It is the perfect spot for those who find the nearby Bealach na Bà a little too crowded with cyclists and motorists attempting their first hill start.
