Leathad Buidhe is the highest point of the Beinn Eighe Mountain Trail in the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve, at 559 meters. The summit is reached via a well-marked, steep path and is marked by a cairn. Despite its relatively modest height, the viewpoint offers panoramic views of Loch Maree, Slioch, and the surrounding peaks. Leathad Buidhe marks the turning point of the marked mountain trail.

The Beinn Eighe Mountain Trail is a dramatic 6.5-kilometer circular walk in the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve. It is the only officially waymarked mountain trail in Great Britain. The walk begins at the Coille na Glas Letire Trails car park on Loch Maree, where you climb through an ancient Scots pine forest overlooking the loch. The path then takes you into more rugged terrain with steep, rocky sections, clearly marked with cairns, including the striking Trumpet Rock—a rock formation shaped like a trumpet mouthpiece and a crucial navigational point. The path continues to ascend to the summit of Leathad Buidhe (559 meters), where a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountain landscapes and Slioch unfolds.

Trumpet Rock is a striking landmark on the Beinn Eighe Mountain Trail in Scotland's Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve. After leaving the forest, you reach this striking rock on a steep section where the path makes a sharp double left turn—a crucial point where many hikers risk losing their bearings. The name refers to the rock's shape, which resembles a trumpet mouthpiece. From this point, spectacular views unfold over Loch Maree and the imposing Mount Slioch, as the landscape changes from dense woodland to a barren quartzite plateau. Trumpet Rock marks not only a visual transition but also the beginning of the route's more technically steep section.

The "Woodland" landmark on the Ben Eighe climb refers to the wooded area at the foot of this mountain. The woodland consists of Caledonian pine forest, with ancient pines, birch, and ferns, and is part of the Ben Eighe National Nature Reserve, the UK's first national nature reserve.

Slioch at 980m is a Munro in the North West Highlands. The summit occupies a commanding position overlooking Loch Maree offering amazing views in virtually all directions, but particularly south west towards the Torridon hills but also north and north east across Lochan Fada towards the remote hills of the Fisherfield Forest. Slioch is defended on the west and northern sides by impressive sandstone crags which is why the mountain is such an iconic view when seen across Loch Maree. The usual approach is from Kinlochewe to the south which takes advantage of an approach via Coire na Sleaghaich and short ridges of the Torridonian sandstone. This is a long walk of about 22km round trip where the first part involves walking along the Kinlochewe River for 4km and requires crossing the Abhainn Fhasaigh via a footbridge as it flows out of Gleann Bianasdail before even starting to climb Slioch itself. The ascent itself is relatively straightforward with minimal scrambling on the ridge route up and down. Make sure you visit the subsidiary summit of Sgùrr an Tuill Bhàin which is a better viewpoint to the north east. Slioch is one of the Munro giants and make sure you reserve a day of good weather because it is a day you will not forget.
