A prized view
Can't say it better than the Walkhighlands website - "A' Mhaighdean is often regarded as the remotest of the Munros, deep in the heart of the Fisherfield Forest. It is a magnificent castellated mountain with dramatic cliffs, and one of the finest viewpoints in Britain." The water and peak on the extreme left are Lochan Fada and Slioch, then Beinn Lair's cliffs left-of-centre, and Fionn Loch leading to the west coast near Poolewe to the right.
