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.

Did You Know?

  • The name is derived from Scottish Gaelic and translates as the 'Cairn of the Loch of the Large Snouts,' likely referring to the prominent rocky promontories or 'snouts' that overlook the nearby water.
  • The summit provides a superior vantage point for studying the massive rock architecture of Beinn Tarsuinn’s northern face, a view often missed by those sticking to the main Munro paths.
  • To the south-west, the view is dominated by the dramatic, remote trench of Gleann na Muice and the steep, dark slopes of Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair.
  • In this part of the Highlands, a hill with this classification usually requires several miles of arduous bog-trotting for every inch of recorded elevation.
