OS Map of Beinn Dearg Bad Chailleach
S7669 - Bad Chailleach
NG912876, LR19. HISTORY Pillar completed 15th February 1955 costing £45.19s.0d. Computed as secondary triangulation station NC20/1 within the Ullapool secondary block, and levelled to second class precision during 1955. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in May 1980. SITE VISIT Overall approach from the west, Drumchork. From roadhead at NG879884, a track leads into the hills passing a covered cistern then for around 600m this track runs parallel to the perimeter fence of an oil depot. Continued on this track until around NG897874, then keeping north of Loch na Claise Carnaich, started to climb the rough boggy terrain towards the main hill. When nearer to the hill it is apparent that the rocks on the west side are sheer, so the final ascent to the summit was from the south. Open grazing hill alternatively named Beinn Dearg. The pillar is in good condition. The spider centre is open. The flush bracket faces north, compass measurement 11°. Vented through the left sight hole, the back port is starting to break open. Full 360° panoramic outlook to the surrounding hills, lochs and coastline.

Loch na Claise Carnaich
A wee lochan near Aultbea in Wester Ross. The little hill above the loch is called Beinn Dearg Bad Chailleach while those in the distance are the more formidable hills of the Fisherfield Forest.
