Challenging Walks

Directly from the house it is possible to do the following Munros and Corbetts:  Sgorr Ruadh 962m, Maol Chean-dearg 933m, Beinn Liath Mhor 926m, Fuar Tholl 907m, An Ruadh-Stac and Beinn Damh 903m. 

Others like Sgurr Choinnich, Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin are in easy reach. 

Any Munro or high altitude walks can be very dangerous without the right equipment and even the easiest of hills can suddenly prove highly challenging and dangerous if the weather changes.

Good advice on routes can be found on www.munromagic.com and for daily weather conditions www.metcheck.com or www.bbc.co.uk/weather

This part of Wester Ross offers outstanding walking.  It is possible to make ascents of a number of Munros and Corbetts directly from the house.
