Folded into the Kintail backcountry between the coast and wild upper Glen Affric, Beinn Fhada and A' Ghlas Bheinn combine to make a tremendous tough round. Though relatively retiring, A' Ghlas-bheinn has craggy character and great views, while at its southern foot, the Bealach an Sgairne must be one of the classic through-routes of Scotland. But it's Beinn Fhada (aka Attow) that really steals the show. More a stretched-out massif than a single entity, the 'Long Mountain' sports multiple tops and remote craggy corries, with a high grassy summit plateau unique in the area, and the impressively rugged northwest ridge to end the day with a scrambly climax.

13.42 miles, 21.60 km, 1,720m ascent, 8:30 – 9:30 hours. Kyle of Lochalsh

Grand stuff. Did this 15 or more years back and that western ridge of Beinn Fhada is utterly gorgeous.

Great hills, but please could you add "backcountry" to your list of words and phrases which should never be heard in the backdoors (in this country anyway).

Edit: Just noticed my typo for outdoors but I like it so I'll leave it!
