    Hiking

    If you wonder why An Teallach is frequently cited as the greatest single mountain in Britain, hike up to Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill and you'll soon see why. A lofty summit in a region known as 'the Great Wilderness', the panorama is extensive. Yet it is the view towards Sgurr Fiona and beyond to the Corrag Bhuidhe Pinnacles that will have your hairs standing up on end and your heart soaring.

    Hiking

    This has to be one of the best Munro summit views of all. Looking back towards Sgurr Fiona Munro Summit and the Fisherfield Munros beyond, the views from Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill are phenomenal. Whether you bravely scrambled the Grade 2-3 pinnacles, or stuck to the relative safety of the bypass path (like me), you still get awesome views from the summit of this great mountain. Is An Teallach the best mountain on mainland Britain? You decide!

    Hiking

    A fantastic munro summint with views to Sgurr Fiona and Lord Berkleys seat. The scree slopes below are steep but worth all the effort. Those uncomfortable with scrambing could consider this Munro by ascending directly up the path from the Mountain Rescue hut at Dundonnell.
