North Highlands Highlight
Coigachfind accomodation in this area
COIGACH (G na Coig Achaidhean, The Five Ach’s), the mountainous peninsula north of Loch Broom was divided into coig’s, or fifths. It is accessed by a single track road that winds its way to Achiltibuie, or north to Lochinver. The road follows Lochs Lurgainn, Bad a’Ghaill and Osgaig, and offers many fine views of cul Beag (769m), Stac Pollaidh (613m) and the huge mass of Ben Mor Coigach (743m).
None of these mountains are very high, but all are individually impressive. This is a quite inspiring and magnificent landscape. Though now all clothed in grass, the valleys and lower slopes were formerly covered in Pine and Oak woods.
