A' Bhuidheanach Bheag
Elevation: 936m (3071ft)
Location: 05B: Loch Ericht to Glen Tromie & Glen Garry
Classification: Munro
A' Bhuidheanach Bheag is a rounded, heather-clad dome situated in the vast wilderness of the Drumochter hills, east of the A9. While it lacks the dramatic crags of the west, its open, sweeping slopes offer a tremendous sense of space and solitude. The summit plateau is extensive, providing wide-ranging views across the rolling monotony of the central Highlands towards the Cairngorms. In winter, its smooth slopes are ideal for ski-touring, transforming the bleak moorland into a pristine white expanse, where the feeling of isolation is profound and the silence absolute.

A' Chailleach
Elevation: 929.3m (3049ft)
Location: 09B: Glen Albyn and the Monadh Liath
Classification: Munro
A' Chailleach is the most westerly of the Monadhliath Munros, standing apart as a distinct grey peak. Its name 'The Old Woman' is common in Gaelic folklore, often representing the Cailleach Bheur, the goddess of winter. The mountain features steep, craggy eastern slopes that drop into a deep corrie, contrasting with the rolling moorland to the west. It offers one of the best viewpoints for surveying the northern staggered ridges of the Great Glen, appearing as a chaotic sea of peaks from this vantage point.

A' Chraileag
Elevation: 1120m (3675ft)
Location: 11B: Glen Affric to Glen Moriston
Classification: Munro
A' Chraileag is the highest peak in Glen Shiel north, a towering cone marked by a massive cairn that overlooks the historic road to Skye. Its name means 'The Basket', perhaps referring to a shape seen from a specific angle. It is connected by a fine, narrow ridge to its neighbour Mullach Fraoch-choire, providing a classic horseshoe walk above the road. The ascent from the Cluanie Inn is steep and relentless, rewarding the climber with a superb ridge traverse that feels airy and alpine in character.

A' Ghlas-bheinn
Elevation: 918m (3012ft)
Location: 11A: Loch Duich to Cannich
Classification: Munro
A' Ghlas-bheinn is a rugged, complex mountain standing guard at the entrance to Glen Affric and Kintail. Often bypassed by those heading for the Falls of Glomach, it is a worthy objective in itself. Its slopes are a chaotic mix of crags, heather, and bog, requiring careful navigation. From the summit, the view down to Loch Duich and across to the Five Sisters of Kintail is spectacular, showcasing the dramatic relief of the northwest Highlands in all its glory.

A' Mhaighdean
Elevation: 965.8m (3169ft)
Location: 14A: Loch Maree to Loch Broom
Classification: Munro
A' Mhaighdean is widely considered the most remote and perhaps the most beautiful Munro in Scotland. Hidden deep within the Fisherfield Forest, 'The Maiden' requires a monumental effort to reach. Its summit offers what is frequently cited as the finest view in the British Isles—a 360-degree panorama of shimmering lochs, jagged ridges, and the distant Atlantic ocean. The dramatic cliffs of its northwest face plunge vertically into the depths of Fuar Loch Mòr, a sight of primal grandeur.

A' Mharconaich
Elevation: 973.2m (3193ft)
Location: 05A: Loch Ericht to Glen Tromie & Glen Garry
Classification: Munro
A' Mharconaich is a prominent peak in the Drumochter Pass, easily recognizable from the A9 by its steep, triangular profile when viewed from the north. Part of the Boar of Badenoch ridge system, it offers a quick ascent for a Munro. The summit plateau is broad and grassy, typical of the region, but the sweeping views up and down the transport corridor of the Highlands give it a unique perspective on the geography of Scotland.

Am Basteir
Elevation: 934m (3064ft)
Location: 17B: Minginish and the Cuillin Hills
Classification: Munro
Am Basteir is the 'Executioner', a fearsome tooth of rock on the main Cuillin ridge of Skye. It is one of the most difficult and intimidating Munros, requiring a scramble along a narrow, knife-edge ridge just to reach the summit block. The 'Bad Step' on its ridge is a notorious obstacle for compleaters. Its sheer northern face drops vertically into the dark Coire a' Bhasteir, adding to the menacing atmosphere of this rock fortress.

Am Bodach
Elevation: 1031.8m (3385ft)
Location: 04A: Fort William to Loch Treig & Loch Leven
Classification: Munro
Am Bodach is a key peak in the Mamores range, its name meaning 'The Old Man'. It forms a classic, sharp-peaked silhouette visible from Kinlochleven. The ascent involves steep, rocky scrambling, particularly traversing the ridge towards the Devil's Ridge and Sgurr a' Mhaim. It is a mountain of great character, offering exhilarating ridge walking in the heart of Lochaber, with views that stretch to the Nevis range.

Am Faochagach
Elevation: 953m (3127ft)
Location: 15A: Loch Broom to Strath Oykel
Classification: Munro
Am Faochagach is a sprawling, flat-topped mountain north of Loch Glascarnoch, infamous among baggers for the distinct lack of a bridge over the river at its base. In wet weather, this river crossing can be impassable. The mountain itself is a vast plateau of moss and stones, lacking the sharp definition of its neighbours, but offering a huge sense of open space and views towards the jagged An Teallach.
