Cnoc Bad a' Choille

Rising above the rugged landscape of the North West Highlands, this modest summit offers a surprisingly expansive vantage point over the coastal fringes. The terrain is typical of the region—a mix of rough heather and occasional boggy patches—making for a short but characterful ascent for those seeking a quiet, uncrowded viewpoint.

• •The Gaelic name translates to 'Hill of the Thicket of the Wood', suggesting that these now-exposed heathery slopes once supported more significant native tree cover.
• •The summit provides an excellent perspective across Loch Ewe, offering clear views towards the Inverewe Garden peninsula and the more distant, jagged silhouettes of the Great Wilderness mountains.
• •Despite its small stature, its prominence earns it a place on both the Hump and Tump lists, making it a frequent target for those exploring the undulating coastal ground away from the more famous Munros.
