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.
Dot and I walked up the path on the East side of Allt a` Chaorainn Bhig to Bealach a` Choinich. From here we ascended Ciste Dubh along a fascinating ridge. The views from here were amazing. You could see Ben Nevis, The Skye Cuillin and Rhum. We returned to the col and then climbed Sgurr an Fhurail. This was hard work! It was then a short hop over to Aonach Meadhoin and back before descending down the ridge to the Cluanie Inn and refreshments.
