Occupying a unique location on a remote peninsula, Beinn Ghobhlach offers the opportunity to really get away from it all. This wild and rugged walk with sea views also holds the possibility of eagles soaring overhead.

Beinn Ghobhlach easily qualifies as one of Scotland’s best small mountains because of its unique location. With Loch Broom to the north and Little Loch Broom to the south, Beinn Ghobhlach’s slopes descend to meet the sea on both sides of the remote Scoraig peninsula. In its isolated position, without any paths, it is a great place to escape to. Rich in wildlife and with great views over the Summer Isles and the pinnacles of the mighty peak of An Teallach, it is well worth visiting.
