An Socach

Located on the north side of Glen Affric on the border between the districts of Inverness and Skye and Lochalsh in Highland Council Area, An Socach rises to a height of 921m (3022 feet), and is dwarfed by its neighbour, Mam Sodhail and Sgurr nam Ceathreamhnan. The mountain consists of three ridges with the north and east flanks being steep, in comparison to the gentler southwestern flank. The summit is flat although bouldery and is an effort to reach due to its long routes of approach. The name An Socach originates from Gaelic and means "the snout".
