An Ruadh-stac, Corbett mountain in Northwest Highlands, Scotland
Rising 892 meters above sea level, An Ruadh-stac presents three steep ridges forming a triangular shape with a north face of layered geology.
The mountain's structure reveals geological formations shaped during glacial periods, evidenced by ice-polished slabs and debris mounds on its southeastern slopes.
The mountain's name translates from Gaelic as 'the red stack', though its quartzite composition gives it a predominant light grey appearance.
Climbers typically access the summit via the northeastern ridge, starting from the A890 road at Coulags in Glen Carron.
Four small lochs surround the mountain at different elevations, with Loch a' Mhadaidh Ruadh considered among Scotland's most beautiful mountain lakes.
