Description

A good late autumn day in Kintail. Little wind low down & moderate but very cold high up. Frosty above about 900m & bits of cloud around the tops. The Sgurr na Conbhairean trio proved a quick one in 5.5 hrs. A flock of 50+ snow buntings seen on the way to Sail Chaorainn.

Area : Glen Affric and Kintail

South of Loch Mullardoch you will find the Glen Affric and Kintail area whose southern boundary is the A87 road to Inverness. The Five Sisters of Kintail, Beinn Fhada, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan and Carn Eighe are just some of the impressive peaks in this area, and all have their own unique selling points such as remoteness, size, steepness or height. As a result, peaks in the list are all over 900m.
