Rising from the forested shores of Loch Maree, arguably Scotland's best loch, this interesting and accessible Corbett offers stunning views of the nearby Torridon and Fisherfield hills. Start in Coille na Glas-leitire, a thriving Scots pine wood and a showpiece of the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve (established in 1951 - Britain's first). Running from the loch up through the woods to a rocky shoulder at about half height, the circular 'Mountain Trail' gives the most logical access route. Though it's billed as one of the only waymarked mountain paths in the country this doesn't amount to much more than the occasional 'interpretive' cairn, and the route is as rough underfoot as any other in the area. From the lochan-studded moonscape at the trail's high point it's a more or less path-free slog to the mountain's twin summits. Descend via the other half of the Mountain Trail loop for the sake of variety.

5 miles, 8 km, 876m ascent, 3 – 4 hours. Gairloch

I remember a cracking 200m slide down its southern slopes to pick up the path back to Kinlochewe. I think we saw one person all day, probably because the main Torridonian peaks draw the crowds.
