About Carn Loch Sruban Mora
Rising deep within the rugged Fisherfield Forest, this remote North West Highland peak offers a quieter alternative to its famous neighbours. The terrain is characteristically rough, featuring rocky outcrops and peat hags, but the effort is rewarded with a spectacular, intimate perspective of the Great Wilderness and the shimmering Loch an Nid below.
