Sron Aonghais

Rising above the remote upper reaches of Glen Markie in the Monadhliath, this heathery shoulder offers a quieter perspective on the surrounding high plateaus. At nearly 600 metres, it provides a rugged, pathless ascent for those seeking solitude away from the busier nearby peaks of A’ Chailleach and Carn Sgulain.

• •Derived from the Gaelic 'Sròn Aonghais,' the name translates as 'Angus’s Nose,' a typical descriptive term for a tapering ridge or a prominent spur of land.
• •Positioned on the southern fringe of the Monadhliath range, the hill serves as a rugged sentinel overlooking the pathless terrain around the Glen Markie burn.
• •The summit offers a focused view across to the massive, rounded bulk of A’ Chailleach to the west, highlighting the vast, rolling scale of the Monadhliath plateau.
• •At just under 600 metres, it manages the impressive feat of being high enough to be perpetually damp while remaining low enough to be entirely ignored by every major hill-bagging list.
