About Fuar Tholl
Fuar Tholl sits in the Coulin deer forest of Wester Ross, roughly 21 km south-west of Achnasheen, in the Highland council area. It is a Corbett, and also carries Marilyn, HuMP and Simm status.
Beyond its position in this corner of the north-west Highlands, the available description of the hill is brief, so walkers planning a visit will want to consult mapping for the detail of its approaches.
