Official information
A' Mhaighdean is considered the most remote of the Munros, located in the Fisherfield Forest. This impressive mountain features dramatic cliffs and offers some of the best panoramic views in Britain, making it a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
From the Wikipedia article
A' Mhaighdean is one of the least accessible of the munros in northern Scotland. It is 8 miles (13 km) north of Kinlochewe but most easily accessible from Poolewe, taking a private road South East (pedestrian & bicycle access only) to Kernsary. A good track then leads to the causeway between the Fionn Loch and Dubh Loch. Follow the path eastwards to about the 1,000 feet (300 m) level and cross the Allt Bruthach an Esain to gain the North West ridge of the mountain. The mountain is composed of gneiss, the summit presenting the highest elevation of the Lewisian. Part of the North West ridge is capped by Torridonian sandstone.
