Druim Ghlaoidh [Leitir Fhionnlaigh]

Rising above the remote glens of the central Grampians, this rounded ridge offers a quieter alternative to the neighbouring high Munros. Its terrain is quintessential Highland moorland—broad, heather-clad, and often boggy—providing a sense of vast isolation and expansive views towards the formidable Grey Corries and the Great Glen.

• •The primary Gaelic name, Druim Ghlaoidh, translates as 'Ridge of the Shout', while the alternative title, Leitir Fhionnlaigh, means 'Finlay’s Slope'.
• •From the summit, walkers are rewarded with a clear perspective of the steep, quartzite-strewn eastern faces of the Grey Corries and the deep trench of Loch Treig.
• •The approach typically begins from the remote hamlet of Fersit, crossing rough ground that is frequently shared with those heading toward the more famous Munros of the Easains.
• •While it qualifies as both a Hump and a Tump, the most prominent feature encountered by most climbers is the remarkably resilient network of peat hags on the northern slopes.
