Slioch, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Slioch rises to 981 meters above sea level, standing prominently on the northern shore of Loch Maree with steep crags on three sides.
The mountain formation dates back to geological periods when Torridonian sandstone settled on a foundation of Lewisian Gneiss, creating its current structure.
The name originates from the Gaelic word 'sleagh', translating to 'the spear', reflecting the mountain's sharp profile when observed from Lochan Fada.
The primary climbing route begins at Incheril, following a five-kilometer path along the Kinlochewe River before ascending through Coire na Sleaghaich to reach the summit.
The mountain features twin pinnacles at its peak, with the southern top containing a trig point while the northern section offers views over Fisherfield Forest.
