Monadh Liath Munros: Càrn Dearg, Càrn Sgulain & A' Chailleach

Hear pronunciation Press to hear pronunciation

Summary

This long hillwalk includes ascents of three of the four Monadh Liath Munros. The hills themselves are undistinguished (particularly Càrn Sgulain), but Càrn Dearg has a feeling of remoteness and the long trek across the plateau from this peak to the others gives a feeling of great space, given favourable weather.
