Tour Scotland Summer wee travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Quinag, Scottish Gaelic: A’ Chuineag, Mountain Range on visit to Sutherland in the North West Highlands. The name Quinag is an anglicisation of the Gaelic name Cuinneag, a milk pail, reflecting its distinctive shape. Quinag presents a formidable sight with its two huge buttresses of Sàil Gharbh and Sàil Ghorm dominating the skyline. Quinag is mentioned in Iain Banks's 2007 novel The Steep Approach to Garbadale as lying just west of the estate of that name.
