Amazing scene on Brothers Ridge. When you see views like this, you just have to appreciate how stunning Scotland really is - especially in conditions like this! 💙🏴⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The eastern neighbours of the Five Sisters are the three Munros Sgùrr a Bhealaich Dheirg, Sàileag and Aonach Meadhoin, often collectively known as the Brothers of Kintail. They give a very fine ridgewalk themselves and are in no way overshadowed by their more famous siblings.⠀
⠀
These Munros are connected by ridges and cols, all of which are above 800m. Nearby, a wider and lower bealach separates Ciste Dhubh, another Munro and Am Bathach, a Corbett, from the main cluster. With well trodden paths from the western end of Loch Cluanie, these five peaks together form the basis of a brilliant hiking route.⠀
⠀
For the most part, the route over these peaks follows wide crests with well-defined paths. There is some steep ground on the route's final descent, which can be tricky to negotiate in wet conditions. The route start and end points are some 10km apart, so arranging some form of transport will avoid hiking back along a rather busy road at the end of the day (unless you're backpacking, of course)⠀
⠀
❄️ Winter hiking - Please note that hiking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons, and the knowledge, experience, and skill to use them correctly. ⠀
