Ben Mor Coigach, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Description
Ben Mor Coigach is a mountain in the northwest Highlands with a distinctive flat-topped summit and steep rocky flanks. The terrain shifts between moorland and rocky sections as you climb upward.
History
The mountain was shaped by ancient geological processes that worked over millions of years across the Highlands. Glaciation and erosion during ice ages created its current distinctive form.
Culture
Local residents have used the mountain paths for generations, developing traditional navigation methods across its heather-covered moorlands and establishing climbing routes.
Practical
The climb requires decent fitness and sturdy boots for rocky and boggy ground. Weather can change quickly in the hills, so bring waterproof layers and a map or compass.
Did you know?
Golden eagles soar regularly around the peak, and on clear days you can see the Summer Isles scattered across the sea below.
