A' Chràlaig, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland.
A' Chràlaig rises to 1120 meters above sea level, standing as the highest peak along Glen Shiel with steep grassy slopes and prominent ridges.
The mountain has guided countless travelers since the 1800s through its stalkers' paths, which were initially created for deer hunting in the Scottish Highlands.
The name A' Chràlaig stems from Scottish Gaelic language, referring to a basket shape that reflects the mountain's distinctive topographical features.
Hikers can access the summit via a maintained path starting from the Cluanie Inn on the A87 road, with parking facilities available near the trailhead.
From its summit, visitors observe ten connected mountain peaks, including the complete Cluanie Horseshoe and the distant peaks of Glen Affric.
