Am Bàthach, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland
The Am Bàthach mountain rises to 798 meters above sea level, featuring grassy slopes that contrast with the surrounding higher peaks in Glen Shiel.
The mountain stands within the former territory of Ross-shire, marking a geographical boundary that has remained constant through centuries of Highland territorial divisions.
The name Am Bàthach reflects the enduring influence of Scottish Gaelic language in the Highland region's geographical nomenclature and regional identity.
Hikers can access the mountain from the parking area near Cluanie Inn, following the A87 road before taking an established stalkers path to the southern ridge.
The summit offers an alternative route to reach Ciste Dhubh, providing firmer ground compared to the normal boggy glen approach.
