Meall Loch na Seilge

About Meall Loch na Seilge

Rising above the remote waters of the loch from which it takes its name, this rugged Wester Ross outlier offers an exceptional perspective of the An Teallach massif. Its heather-clad slopes provide a quieter vantage point for surveying the Great Wilderness of Fisherfield and the jagged summits of the Dundonnell hills.
