Cnap na Stri

Situated in the rugged wilderness north of Glen Garry, this hefty Tump rises between the shadows of the South Glen Shiel Ridge and Glen Moriston. It offers a quieter, pathless alternative to its more famous neighbours, requiring a steady trudge through typical Highland rough grass and heather to reach its 724-metre summit.

• •The name is Gaelic, with 'Cnap' meaning a rounded hill or lump and 'strì' meaning strife or contention. In the Highlands, such names usually refer to historical boundary disputes between neighbouring clans over seasonal grazing rights.
• •The summit offers a commanding view over the sprawling waters of Loch Garry to the south, while the dramatic, notched skyline of the South Glen Shiel Munros forms a serrated wall to the west.
• •Located in a wild, roadless pocket between the A87 and the A887, the hill provides a sanctuary for those looking to escape the busier Munro circuits, though the lack of established paths makes for a physically demanding day.
• •It is a summit that earns its title; the final push through the local mix of peat hags and knee-deep heather ensures that reaching the top remains a genuine struggle.
