Gairich, Mountain cairn on Loch Quoich, Scotland.

Gairich rises to 919 meters above sea level on the southern shore of Loch Quoich, featuring two notable corries on its northern slopes.

The mountain appeared in the 1891 Munro list as Scour Gairoch, with its Gaelic name Sgùrr Ghairich translating to 'roaring peak' in English.

The transformation of Loch Quoich into a reservoir in 1957 submerged the village of Kinlochquoich and altered the traditional walking paths to the mountain.

The ascent starts at Loch Quoich dam car park, covering 14 kilometers round trip with a total climbing time between 5 and 7 hours.

December 1954 recorded 10 inches of rain within 22 hours at Loch Quoich, making this area among the wettest locations in Scotland.
