Ben More Coigach
Beinn Mhòr na Còigich
A sandstone mountain overlooking the sea just north of Ullapool. Its ridge faces the Summer Isles and the Minch, offering some of the finest coastal views in the Northwest Highlands.
Ben More Coigach rises to 743 m, about 10 km north of Ullapool beside Ardmair Bay. It is the highest mountain on the Coigach peninsula, and its steep southern slopes drop straight to the sea. The usual route starts at Culnacraig. Once on the ridge, follow the Garbh Choireachan arête to the summit for views over the Summer Isles, the Minch and the distant Outer Hebrides. The round trip takes about 5 to 7 hours. The mountain is part of the Coigach reserve managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Non-walkers can enjoy distant views from the A835 roadside at Ardmair Bay. Note: the lower section is steep with no clear path, and the ridge is very windy.
