A magnificent pair of hills sporting big crags, and sharing a high col pitted with idyllic lochans, Fuar Tholl and Sgorr Ruadh are the focus of this achievable day, a route that's high on impact for the relatively modest effort. For a longer day you could complete the classic Coire Lair skyline over Beinn Liath Mhor, or head west for Maol Cheann-dearg. Threaded with helpful paths winding through big scenery, the Coulin Forest is a fantastic area to wander, and there are no dull options. [article(13678,true)]

This was my first  hillwalk in the northwest Highlands way back in 1971 and the first time I had ever ventured north of Kintail.

Not a bad introduction!

A big nostalgic hit for me, too.
