Mullwharchar

Mullwharchar rises 692 meters above sea level, featuring three distinct cliffs named The Slock, The Tauchers, and The Organ Pipes along its slopes.

In 1978, local residents gathered 100,000 signatures to oppose a government plan for nuclear waste storage beneath the mountain, leading to the project's rejection.

The mountain's name derives from Scottish Gaelic language, translating to Bare Hill of Farquhar, reflecting the traditional naming patterns of Scottish highlands.

The summit includes three documented climbing routes accessible from the north side, with detailed navigation points marked on Landranger Map 77 and Explorer Map 318.

The mountain's flat summit contains numerous scattered erratic rocks, transported and deposited by glacial movements during past ice ages.
