About Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich
Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich, in Gaelic Bidean Coire an t-Seasgaich, is a remote Northwest Highlands mountain reached only after a long walk in.
It occupies the western end of an east-west ridge that also carries the Munro Top Meall Mor at 974 m and the Munro Lurg Mhòr at 986 m, so it is normally considered alongside those tops rather than in isolation.
