Creag Dhubh Mhor is predominantly composed of gneiss, which is a metamorphic rock that is as tough as it sounds. The ruggedness of its geology gives this mountain its dramatic slopes and stunning vistas, making it a favourite among seasoned walkers.
From the summit, one can take in the majestic views of the Fisherfield Forest, An Teallach, and even catch a sneak peek of Loch Broom on a clear day.
Creag Dhubh Mhor translates to 'great black crag' in Gaelic, a fitting name for such a formidable and darkly beautiful peak.
The mountain is part of an area rich in cultural history, with ancient paths used by locals for centuries and remnants of old settlements nearby.
This route starts from the A832 road and ascends via a well-trodden path leading through a scenic glen before tackling the steeper slopes towards the summit. A delight for the senses, with ample opportunities for sheep spotting!
Parking is available at the layby along the A832, approximately 2 km from the start of the walking path. Space is limited, so it’s best to arrive early.
While public transport is limited, there are bus services from Ullapool to the nearby village of Dundonnell.
Ullapool offers a range of facilities including shops, cafes, and public toilets. Perfect for refuelling before your trek!
