Strone Nea

Rising from the northern shores of Loch Nevis in the Knoydart wilderness, this 484m Hump offers a quiet, pathless alternative to the neighbouring Munros. Its rugged, heathery slopes provide a grandstand view across the water to North Morar and the jagged profile of the Cuillin on Skye.

• •The name is a phonetic rendering of the Gaelic Sròn Nibheis, meaning ‘Nose of Nevis’, which describes its position as a prominent, rounded spur projecting toward the sea loch.
• •Because it sits on the Knoydart peninsula—often called ‘Britain’s last wilderness’—the approach usually involves a boat to Inverie or a very long walk-in from Kinlochhourn.
• •From the summit, the view north-east is dominated by the 'Rough Bounds' of Knoydart, specifically the massive, craggy southern face of Ladhar Bheinn.
• •It is classified as both a Hump and a Tump, though you are far more likely to encounter a stray red deer than a fellow peak-bagger on its trackless slopes.
