About
Ben Mor Coigach (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Mhòr na Còigich) is the highest point along a ridge rising steeply from Loch Broom, in the far northwest of Scotland. It rises above the Coigach peninsula in the county of Ross and Cromarty, 10 kilometres northwest of Ullapool, reaching a height of 743 metres (2,438 ft). Its coastal position, combined with its high topographic prominence to height ratio, provides a spectacular panorama, sweeping from Ullapool across to the Summer Isles and north over Coigach to the distinctive peaks of Assynt, as well as more distant views to Skye and the Outer Hebrides, conditions permitting. The area is a Scottish Wildlife Trust nature reserve.
