Beinn Acha' Bhraghad

This rounded Monadhliath summit offers a quiet, heathery escape south of Inverness. The terrain is typical of the range—broad, often boggy, and rewarding for those who enjoy pathless navigation. From the top, you gain clear views across the Great Glen toward the high, pointed peaks of Glen Strathfarrar.

• •The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic Beinn Achadh na Bràghad, meaning 'Mountain of the Field of the Upland,' likely referring to the high grazing found on its gentler slopes.
• •The summit is often reached as part of a longer moorland trek from the village of Farr, crossing the rolling plateau that characterises the northern Monadhliath.
• •Visible landmarks from the top include the northern reaches of Loch Ness and the distant, isolated mass of Ben Wyvis standing prominently to the north.
• •In true Monadhliath fashion, the hill features a distinct lack of signposts, meaning your navigation skills—and your tolerance for peat hags—will be tested.
