Am Faochagach Terrain Block

Am Faochagach is a sprawling, flat-topped mountain north of Loch Glascarnoch, infamous among baggers for the distinct lack of a bridge over the river at its base. In wet weather, this river crossing can be impassable. The mountain itself is a vast plateau of moss and stones, lacking the sharp definition of its neighbours, but offering a huge sense of open space and views towards the jagged An Teallach.

About Am Faochagach

The name means 'The Heathery One' or 'Place of Peat', reflecting its boggy, rolling nature. It is often remembered not for the climb, but for the 'wet feet' guarantee of the Abhainn a' Gharbhrain crossing at the start. It stands as a bulky contrast to the sharp peaks of the Fannichs.
