The Beinn Dearg 4

‘With dramatic mountain scenery including high lochans and steep cliff faces combined with views that stretch from the Moray Firth in the east to Assynt and An Teallach in the west, this isn’t a walk to be missed!’

Join us for a classic circuit of the four Munros making up the Beinn Dearg range in the stunning Northwest Highlands. With dramatic mountain scenery including high lochan’s and steep cliff faces combined with views that stretch from the Moray Firth in the east to Assynt and An Teallach in the west, this isn’t a walk to be missed!

The walk will start and finish at Inverlael, a short distance from Ullapool. From here a good track and then paths lead into the mountains via the beautiful valley of Gleann na Sguaib. Half way up the glen we will head northwards on another path before heading onto the open hill to reach the day’s first summit, Eididh nan Clach Geala. A clockwise circuit from here will take us on a high level walk over the other three Munros of Meall nan Ceapreachain, Cona’ Mheall and Beinn Dearg itself. The return will be back down the length of Gleann na Sguaib where you can admire the high lochans and waterfalls along the way.

Munros:

• Eididh Nan Clach Geala - nest of the white stones (927m)

• Meall Nan Ceapreachain - rounded hill of stubby hillocks (977m)

• Cona’ Mheall - adjoining hill (978m)

• Beinn Dearg - red hill (1084m)

Much of the walk is on a well-maintained old stalkers path with some walking off paths including some boulder fields on the summits. This is a Level 4 walk, for more information on walk grading click here.
