About An t-Uiriollach
This 826-metre Tump occupies a remote stretch of the Highlands, offering a rugged and solitary climbing experience. Located within reach of Kyle of Lochalsh, the hill is defined by its steep, heathery flanks and a high summit plateau that provides a wilder, less-manicured feel than many of its more famous neighbours.

Did You Know?
- •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'An t-Uiriollach', which is most commonly translated as 'the chattering one' or 'the talkative one', likely referring to the sound of the wind through its crags or the noise of the burns on its lower slopes.
- •The hill acts as a significant eastern shoulder to the higher Munro, Sgùrr a' Choire Ghlais; while many walkers bypass it to stay on the main ridge, it offers a quieter perspective on the surrounding Monar forest.
- •The summit provides a clear, expansive view south across the deep waters of Loch Monar toward the remote peaks of the Mullardoch forest, including the long, high ridge of An Riabhachan.
- •In a region where 'Munro-bagging' is a serious pursuit, this 826-metre Tump remains blissfully overlooked by anyone whose primary interest in hills is a list-based tick-box.
