Tour Scotland Summer travel video, with Scottish music, of Braeriach, Scottish Gaelic: Am Bràigh Riabhach, on visit to the Eastern Highlands. Its is the third highest mountain in the British Isles, surpassed only by Ben Nevis and Ben Macdui. It is the highest point in the western massif of the Cairngorms, separated from the central section, containing Ben Macdui and Cairn Gorm, by the pass of the Lairig Ghru. The summit has a crescent shape, with several corries. In the north facing corrie of Garbh Coire Mor the snow has completely melted just six times in the last century: 1933, 1959, 1996, 2003, 2006 and 2017 and the patches that linger there are the longest lying snow patches in Scotland and more generally, in the entire British Isles.
