About Stob Coire Dhomhnuill
Sitting high above the remote waters of Loch Mullardoch, this substantial Munro Top forms a rugged western shoulder to the massive Sgùrr na Lapaich. Its rocky, high-altitude terrain offers a wild sense of isolation, looking out across the desolate peaks of the Monar Forest and the deep trough of Glen Cannich.

- •The name translates from Gaelic as the 'peak of Donald's corrie'. While the identity of the specific Donald is lost to history, the name likely refers to a local shepherd or hunter who frequented the sheltered hollow beneath the summit.
- •This summit is a subsidiary top of Sgùrr na Lapaich, the highest mountain in the Monar Forest. It is typically visited as part of the demanding 'Mullardoch Round', a high-level circuit of four Munros and several tops.
- •The view west from the summit is dominated by the spiked profile of An Riabhachan and the remote, sprawling plateau of the Mullardoch hills, offering one of the most uninterrupted wilderness panoramas in the North West Highlands.
- •Given its location in the middle of a notoriously long and grueling ridge walk, reaching this peak usually signifies that you are either deeply committed to your day or significantly overdue for a sandwich.
