Quinag is a majestic mountain complex with three summits, all attaining Corbett status. The ascent of all three is said to be one of the finest and most varied hillwalks in Scotland, with fine peaks, dramatic ridges and stunning panoramic views...

✨

The following extract from A Man in Assynt by Norman MacCaig sums up very well our feelings about this beautifully vast, dramatic and special landscape -

 "Who owns this landscape? Has owning anything to do with love? For it and I have a love-affair, so nearly human we even have quarrels.

When I intrude too confidently it rebuffs me with a wind like a hand or puts in my way a quaking bog or loch where no loch should be.

Or I turn stonily away, refusing to notice the rouged rocks, the mascara under a dripping ledge, even the tossed, the stony limbs waiting.

I can’t pretend it gets sick for me in my absence, though I get sick for it. Yet I love it with special gratitude, since it sends me no letters, is never jealous and, expecting nothing from me, gets nothing but cigarette packets and footprints."

🚅Getting there

Assynt is so far north that we would probably recommend a car for our events in Assynt as there is very little in terms of public transport to the start of our events. Sacred Mountain Guiding can offer some help in terms of lifts from local accommodation for those that are on public transport, however!

There is plenty of accommodation in the area including Clachtoll Beach Campsite, Inchnadamph Hostel, and plenty of B&B and AirBNB options too! Although, be sure to book any accommodation well in advance as the area gets booked up very quickly over the summer!

✨Important Information

 We will meet in at 8:30am and hope to be back at our meeting point by 5pm, however, this is an estimate.

This is long mountain day with steep and complex terrain.
