At the summit, you’ll find a remarkable stone cairn that invites tired legs to take a break and soak in the panoramic views. There may even be a friendly sheep or two!
The hill is predominantly composed of Moine Schist, a metamorphic rock that has been shaped and polished by glaciers over the millennia. It provides a rugged terrain dotted with glacial erratics and showcases the dramatic geological history of the Highlands.
From the summit, gaze upon the expansive views of the Monadhliath Mountains and the Cairngorms, as well as Loch Lochy in the distance. An Instagram-worthy landscape that shouts, 'Hiker’s Delight!'
The name Corrieyairack derives from the Gaelic 'Corr an Iar' which means 'Hill of the West', a nod to its location relative to the glens and valleys around it.
This hill is part of the historic military road constructed by General Wade in the 18th century, offering insight into the efforts to improve security in the Highlands.
A popular route that follows the old military road featuring gentle inclines and diverse scenery. A good warm-up for the legs before a proper tussle!
Parking is available at the eastern end of Corrieyairack Pass. It's a small gravel pull-in that fills up quicker than you can say 'hiker's paradise'.
Public transport options are limited; the nearest bus stop is in Fort Augustus, about 12 km away. A pre-planned taxi can save the day!
While there are no facilities on the hill itself, Fort Augustus provides several cafes, restaurants, and public toilets. Don't forget to stock up on snacks before heading off!
