Ben Mor Coigach

Ben Mor Coigach rises 743 meters above sea level, featuring a distinctive table-topped profile and steep rocky slopes near the northwestern Scottish coast.

The mountain emerged from ancient geological processes that shaped the Northwest Highlands, creating its current form through millions of years of erosion and glaciation.

Local residents have used the mountain paths for generations, developing traditional navigation methods across its heather-covered moorlands and establishing climbing routes.

Hikers access the summit from the parking area near Culnacraig, following a challenging path that crosses streams before ascending through multiple elevation changes.

Golden eagles frequently soar around the summit, while the peak provides clear views of the Summer Isles scattered across the mouth of Loch Broom.
