Did You Know?

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Hill of the Oars.' This is likely a reference to a historical portage route where oars or timber for boats were carried over the pass between Loch Maree and the remote inland waters of Fionn Loch.
• •Standing at the heart of the North West Highlands, the summit provides an exceptional 'insider’s' view of the massive gneiss cliffs of A' Mhaighdean and the dark, dramatic waters of the Dubh Loch.
• •Reaching the hill involves a long, committed approach from the Heights of Kinlochewe, traversing the often-sodden ground of Gleann na Muice, a glen famed among walkers for its challenging peat hags.
• •In an area where most hikers are focused on the nearby Munros, you are likely to have the summit entirely to yourself, accompanied only by the local red deer who seem genuinely confused by your presence.
