About Carn na Nathrach

Càrn na Nathrach sits in the Ardgour district of Lochaber, part of the Northwest Highlands, and takes the form of a rugged ridge rather than a single cone. It is a very remote hill, and approaches most often begin from Loch Doilet on its western side.

Its 786 metres qualify it as a Corbett, and it also carries Marilyn, HuMP and Simm status.
