This is the path up Tom na Gruagaich just above the rocky plateau in the previous picture. The intermittent track leads to the top of the corrie Coir nan Laogh and the summit at 904M. | |

Liathach |
Looking east across Coire Mhic Nobuill we can see Liathach including The Pinnacles. Just to the left, in the distance, is Beinn Eighe. |
|
This is the view to the east from further up the corrie. The camera has been zoomed in on Beinn Eighe. Its nearest peak Sail Mhor is hidden in cloud. In the foreground are Tom na Gruagaich's steep rocky slopes at the west side of Coir nan Laogh. | |
|
From the summit of Tom na Gruagaich you must descend to this ridge if you intend to walk to Beinn Alligin's highest summit Sgurr Mhor at 986M. Cloud partially obscures the way ahead, making it risky for the inexperienced. | |
|
The sun shines on Sgurr Mhor and the Horns of Alligin further to the east. Weather permitting, experienced walkers and scramblers can traverse the entire ridge. | |
|
Zoomed in on the three Horns of Alligin. | |
|
Coming back down from Tom na Gruagaich to the car park - visible in the distance. This is the most direct route but is quite steep. The ladder helps you get over the deer fence. | |
|
Several kilometres to the east, above Loch Maree, a National Nature Reserve Trail snakes its way across the quartzite rock from Leathad Buidhe, past several lochans. Photograph taken from Meall a Ghiubhais. |
