Fraochaidh

Hear pronunciation Press to hear pronunciation

Fraochaidh is a fine, steep-sided Corbett hidden behind Beinn a' Bheithir. A superb viewpoint, the approaches from nearby Duror and Glen Creran are impeded by forestry plantations so the longer approach from the Glencoe side may be preferred.
