About Gleouraich

Gleouraich rises on the north shore of Loch Quoich, on the long road west from Glen Garry towards Kinloch Hourn. It is a Munro and a Marilyn. Creag Coire na Fiar Bhealaich, a top, sits 0.8 km to the east, and Spidean Mialach is 2.8 km away in the same direction. Sgurr a' Bhealaich Dheirg, 9.0 km to the north, is the nearest higher mountain.

The standard route starts on the Loch Quoich road and follows a stalkers' path that zigzags up the south-west ridge. The path is well built and climbs high on the ridge, giving easy going. From the summit you follow the ridge east over Creag Coire na Fiar Bhealaich, drop to a col and climb Spidean Mialach, then come down its south slopes to the road.

The ridge has steep corries on its north side, so keep away from the edge in cloud or snow. The views take in Loch Quoich, Knoydart and the hills of Kintail.

Gleouraich is 1,035 m (3,396 ft) high with 768 m of prominence. It is in Highland, Scotland. It is the 98th highest of the 1,458 summits Peakify lists in Highland. The nearest summits are Creag Coire na Fiar Bhealaich (0.8 km), Druim Seileach (1.0 km) and Maol Chinn-dearg East Top (3.1 km).
