Burrach Mor South Top

Rising from the high, peat-scarred plateau of the Monadhliath, this Tump offers a wild, remote experience away from the busier Munro tracks. Located north of Newtonmore, its broad, heather-clad slopes require careful navigation in mist, rewarding the effort with expansive vistas across the Spey Valley toward the Cairngorm giants.

• •The name likely derives from the Gaelic 'bùrrach', meaning a digging or a place of broken ground, aptly describing the characteristic peat hags and weathered channels found across this high Monadhliath plateau.
• •It is often visited as a quiet detour by walkers tackling the nearby Munros, A’ Chailleach and Càrn Sgulain, which sit just to the north and west.
• •From this vantage point, the view across the Spey Valley provides a clear profile of the western Cairngorms, with the Great Moss and the cliffs of Sgoran Dubh Mòr particularly prominent.
• •Navigating this terrain requires a certain fondness for the Scottish 'bùrrach'—a word that can also mean a muddle or a mess, which is a fair description of the peat hags underfoot during a wet spell.
