An Cabagach

Tucked away in the rugged wilderness of Coigach, this modest Hump offers a rough, pathless character that belies its humble stature. It serves as a fantastic, quiet vantage point, providing an unmatched perspective on the surrounding giants of Assynt and the shattered coastline of the far north-west.

• •The name is Gaelic in origin, likely derived from 'cabagach', meaning toothed or notched. This refers to the jagged, broken nature of the summit's rocky outcrops, a common characteristic of the Torridonian sandstone found throughout this region.
• •Positioned south of Loch Lurgainn, the summit provides an exceptional 'eye-level' view of the iconic pinnacled ridge of Stac Pollaidh and the massive, tiered slopes of Cùl Mòr to the north.
• •The hill is often climbed as part of a longer circuit involving its larger neighbour, Ben Mor Coigach, or as a standalone objective for those seeking a panoramic view of the Summer Isles in the Minch.
• •Despite providing one of the best seats in the house for viewing the Inverpolly forest, you are significantly more likely to share the summit with a golden plover than another human soul.
