Stob Choire Claurigh

Stob Choire Claurigh rises to 1177 meters above sea level, featuring steep ridges and pale grey quartzite rocks visible from the surrounding valleys.

The mountain has been a significant geographical marker for Highland communities, guiding travelers through the centuries between Fort William and the eastern regions.

The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'peak of the brawling corrie', referring to the sounds of stags during mating season in the mountain corries.

The ascent begins at Corriechoille farm, following established tracks through Leanachan Forest before climbing the northeastern ridge to reach the summit.

Four high corries surround the peak, maintaining snow coverage into spring months and feeding multiple streams that flow toward the River Spean.
