Tour Scotland Photograph Climber Quinag Mountain

Tour Scotland photograph of a climber on Quinag mountain in Sutherland, Highlands of Scotland. Quinag is in fact a mountain range with an undulating series of peaks along its Y-shaped crest. The name Quinag is an anglicisation of the Gaelic name Cuinneag, a milking pail, reflecting its distinctive shape. this Scottish mountain is made of Torridonian sandstone, resting on a substrate of Lewisian gneiss. Quinag boasts three separate Corbett summits, Sàil Ghorm at 2,546 feet; Sàil Gharbh at 2,651 feet and Spidean Coinich at 2,506 feet. From the north and from the road crossing the Kylesku Bridge, Quinag presents a formidable sight with its two huge buttresses of Sàil Gharbh and Sàil Ghorm dominating the skyline. It provides a backdrop to Loch Assynt, and seen from the road coming from the village of Lochinver, Quinag stretches as far as the eye can see. Spidean Coinich projects a broad south east ridge which provides the usual ascent route for walkers. The Corbetts are peaks in Scotland that are between 2,500 and 3,000 feet high with a prominence of at least 500 feet. The list was compiled in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett.
