Braeriach, Mountain summit in Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom
The third highest mountain in Scotland rises to 1,296 meters with a large crescent-shaped plateau overlooking multiple corries and deep valleys.
The mountain received its classification among the Munros when Sir Hugh Munro cataloged all Scottish peaks above 914 meters in his 1891 list.
The name Braeriach comes from Scottish Gaelic 'Am Bràigh Riabhach', reflecting the traditional language heritage of the Highland region.
The Sugar Bowl car park serves as the primary starting point for the 9-kilometer trail that leads hikers through the Chalamain Gap to the summit.
The mountain contains patches of snow that persist throughout summer months in the deep corries of its northern face.
