Creag an Lochain [A'Chaoirnichain]

Rising above the desolate moors north of Loch Glascarnoch, this high North West Highland summit offers a wild, remote experience. Often overlooked for the nearby Munros, its broad, stony plateau provides a commanding vantage point over the rugged troughs of the Dirrie More and the sprawling Fannich peaks.

• •The name Creag an Lochain is Gaelic for 'Crag of the Little Loch', likely a reference to the small, dark pools tucked into the high corries on its eastern flanks.
• •From the summit, you can clearly see the distinctive 'Great Slab' of Fisherfield's Beinn Tarsuinn and the jagged skyline of the An Teallach massif across the Dundonnell wilderness.
• •While its height falls short of the Munro threshold, its status as a Hump (a hill with a Hundred Metre Prominence) makes it a primary objective for those who prefer solitude over the busier surrounding peaks.
