Bidean a' Choire Sheasgaich
(Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich)

A mountain to the east of Strathcarron, in the West Monar Forest, on the border of the Ross and Cromarty and Skye and Lochalsh districts of Highland Council Area, Bidean a' Choire Sheasgaich is one of the most isolated mountains in the country. Rising to a height of 945m (3100 feet), it forms a steep and rocky peak, especially to the north and east. Its name is derived from the Gaelic for "peak of the corrie of the barren cattle".
