About A' Mhaighdean
A' Mhaighdean is a mountain. Location: Highland, Scotland. Elevation: 967 m.
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.
