Creag Coire na Feola

Rising above the southern shores of Loch a’ Bhraoin, this rugged North West Highland peak serves as a dramatic northern gateway to the Fannichs. Often visited as a prominent spur of Meall a’ Chrasgaidh, its steep crags offer a commanding and uninterrupted perspective across the desolate landscape of the Fisherfield Forest.

• •The Gaelic name Creag Coire na Feola translates as 'Rock of the Corrie of the Meat'. This likely refers to the high-quality grazing found in the sheltered corrie below, which was traditionally known for fattening deer or cattle.
• •Though classified as a Tump, the hill is most often used as a more interesting, scrambly alternative to the boggy standard ascent of the neighbouring Munro, Meall a’ Chrasgaidh.
• •The summit offers one of the best profiles of the 'Great Wilderness' to the north-west, providing a clear sightline to the jagged sandstone spires of An Teallach and the remote peaks of Beinn Dearg.
• •Despite the name suggesting a corrie full of meat, a visitor is far more likely to encounter a stray ptarmigan than a ready-made dinner.
