Stob Coire Dheirg

Sitting prominently at the eastern end of a jagged ridge, this rugged Munro Top is a highlight of the Black Mount range. Reached via the sharp crest from Stob Ghabhar, its shattered quartzite terrain offers an exposed, high-altitude feel with dramatic, plunging views over the vast, watery expanse of Rannoch Moor.

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as the 'Peak of the Red Corrie', likely referencing the reddish hue of the shattered rock and scree that characterises its steep eastern flanks.
• •It marks the end of a dramatic, narrow ridge known as the 'Upper Aonach Eagach', which connects the peak to its parent Munro, Stob Ghabhar.
• •The summit provides a spectacular grandstand view across the desolate bog-lands of Rannoch Moor towards the distant, symmetrical cone of Schiehallion.
• •Despite standing at over 1,000 metres—higher than many standalone Munros—its lack of topographic prominence means it is classified as a Munro Top.
• •The 'Upper Aonach Eagach' ridge provides just enough exposure to remind you why you brought sturdy boots, without the sustained terror often associated with its more famous namesake in Glencoe.
