About Druim Fada
Druim Fada is a long, craggy ridge running for several kilometres along the northern shore of Loch Hourn, in the Northwest Highlands. Arnisdale to the west is the nearest village, and access is generally taken from Corran to the west or Kinlochhourn to the east.
The true summit is identified by a rock about five metres west-north-west of the cairn.
