Glas Mheall Mor, 979 metres, from Bidean a Ghlas Thuill, 1,062 metres, the higheat peak of ten. North view over Strath Beag (Dundonnell) and part of the Scoraig Peninsula to the hills beyond and above Loch Broom and Ullapool, Wester Ross, Scotland.
Commentary. 1,062 metre view from Bidein a ‘ Ghlas Thuill, one of ten tops making up the mighty AnTeallach. A soft light blends moorland, mountain, sea-loch, peninsulas, headlands, Summer Isles and sky, looking north-west to the Atlantic, beyond. The views down to the corrie-lake, Loch Toll an Lochain, and along the fiercely serrated ridge, are grandeur personified. A variety of directions feasts our eyes on the Sutherland monoliths, Sgurr Mor, Ben Wyvis, Slioch, the peaks of Fisherfield and Letterewe Forests and as far as the Torridon Range. Sensational! For many reasons An Teallach is my favourite Scottish mountain!

One of ten awesome peaks that make up the iconic mountain, An Teallach, in Wester Ross.
Commentary. Ten “Munro” tops in one ridge, in one mountain. Glacially scoured foothills and corrie lakes lead to a ridge of exquisite views, inland, and along the Wester Ross and Sutherland seaboard. Perhaps, only the Black Cuillins of Skye can equal the pure magnificence of this single mountain ridge. A favourite of many who see it, and even more, who venture to climb it.

6 of the 10 tops that make this traverse spectacular. Mercurial and iconic mountain, An Teallach, Wester Ross, North-West Highlands.
Commentary. What a mountain! One horseshoe ridge around Loch Toll an Lochain, made up of ten tops or sub-peaks. Torridonian Sandstone over 500 million years old on a base of Lewisian Gneiss up to 3 billion years in age. North and south of the ridge, the slopes plunge precipitously, 3,000 feet, to corries and lochs like Loch na Sealga. Here, from the highest point, Bidean á Ghlas Thuill, 1,062 metres (3,484 feet) we look back at the serrated arête we have just traversed. The views in all directions are stupendous. West, we can see Gruinard Bay and the Scoraig Peninsula. North-West is the Summer Isles and Coigach. North are the monoliths of Assynt in Sutherland. East, Ben Wyvis (1,047 metres.) South-East, Sgùrr Mor (1,110 metres) and the mountains of Affric and South, the Torridon Range and the Cuillins of Skye. Probably, the most dramatic and impressive mountain in Britain.

From the summit of An Teallach, 1,062 metres, a spectacular view of Sail Mhor (rounded) 767 metres, the remote Scoraig Peninsula, the Summer Isles and the Coigach coast, Wester Ross, Scotland.

We had just descended from this rugged peak, one of ten that make up the magnificent mountain called An Teallach, Wester Ross, Scotland. Don't fall, it is nigh on 3000 feet to the lochan below.
Commentary. Ten “Munro” tops in one ridge, in one mountain. Glacially scoured foothills and corrie lakes lead to a ridge of exquisite views, inland, and along the Wester Ross and Sutherland seaboard. Perhaps, only the Black Cuillins of Skye can equal the pure magnificence of this single mountain ridge. A favourite of many who see it, and even more, who venture to climb it.
