Quinag is a magnificent and complex mountain with three summits attaining Corbett status. The ascent of all three is one of the finest hillwalks in Scotland, with fine peaks, dramatic ridges and stunning views. If the full walk is too much, the ascent of the first peak (with a return the same way) is a short and fairly straightforward hillwalk with rewards out of all proportion to the effort involved. The mountain is under the stewardship of the John Muir Trust.

Terrain

Mostly good hill paths. Mountainous terrain with some very steep ground but only a minimal amount of scrambling.

Public Transport

None to start.

Start

Car park at NC232273. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
