Bad an Fhithich Mhoir

Rising above the wooded shores of Loch Duich in Wester Ross, this 506-metre hill offers a quiet outing with relatively little traffic. The terrain is typical West Highland ground: rough heather and grass slopes punctuated by rocky outcrops. The summit rewards those who make the ascent with views across the loch towards the Five Sisters of Kintail.

• •The name derives from Gaelic, meaning 'clump or thicket of the big raven' – 'bad' referring to a grove or thicket, 'fhithich' meaning raven, and 'mhoir' meaning big or great, suggesting this was once a notable roosting site for these birds.
• •The hill sits in the shadow of the far more popular Five Sisters ridge across Loch Duich, making it a remarkably peaceful alternative for those seeking solitude in an otherwise busy corner of the Highlands.
• •Its Dodd classification places it among Scotland's hills between 500 and 599 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence – a relatively recent cataloguing effort that has brought attention to previously overlooked summits.
