Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair East Top

Situated in the heart of the remote Fisherfield Forest, this Munro Top occupies a dramatic position on the eastern ridge of its parent peak. It offers a rugged, quartzite-strewn landscape that rewards the long approach with immense silence and a feeling of deep isolation within the 'Great Wilderness'.

• •The name is Gaelic for 'The Summit of Farquhar's Corrie,' referring to the massive, north-facing glacial bowl that this high ridge overlooks.
• •This is one of the most remote high points in the Scottish Highlands, typically requiring either a dauntingly long day-trip or a multi-day expedition involving a stay at the Shenavall bothy.
• •The terrain is characterized by white Cambrian quartzite, creating a pale, shimmering summit environment that can be exceptionally slick and treacherous during the region's frequent rain.
• •From this vantage point, walkers gain a spectacular perspective of the main summit’s 'Triple Buttress' and the dark, tooth-like profile of An Teallach rising to the north across the Strath na Sealga.
• •Reaching this spot usually involves crossing the Abhainn Strath na Sealga; a river that serves as an effective, if damp, filter for those who haven't checked the rainfall charts.
