An Caisteal

At an elevation of 995.8 meters, An Caisteal features four distinct ridges extending from its peak, with grassy slopes and rocky formations near the top.

The mountain's name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'the castle', referring to the prominent rock formations at its summit that resemble medieval fortifications.

This peak belongs to a group of seven Munros in the Crianlarich range, making it a destination for mountaineers completing their collection of Scottish peaks.

The northern ridge, passing through Twistin Hill, provides the main ascending route with parking available at a layby along the A82 in Glen Falloch.

Several small caves appear along Twistin Hill near the path, while a deep cleft cuts into the ridge, creating an unusual geological formation.
