On a clear day, look out for towering peaks such as Ben Nevis to the south-west and the shimmering waters of Loch Ness to the north.
A' Chaoirnich translates to 'the hill of the hollows' in Scots Gaelic, perfectly fitting for its rolling contours.

A well-trodden path, with clear markers leading you through heather-clad hillsides before the final ascent to the summit. Perfect for a lovely day out.
