About Mullach Coire a' Chuir NW Top
Sitting as a subsidiary shoulder on the high ridge north of Glen Strathfarrar, this 588m top offers a remote perspective on the massive bulk of Maoile Lunndaidh. The terrain is largely pathless and heathery, providing a quiet vantage point over the secluded waters of Loch Monar and the rugged Sgùrr na Lapaich.
