A' Ghlas-bheinn, 'the greenish-grey mountain', stands at the edge of Kintail between Strath Croe and Glen Affric. Seen from near Morvich, its western spurs spread down to Strath Croe like the fingers of a hand, rising to an undulating ridge with a summit cairn. To the north lie the Falls of Glomach, one of the highest waterfalls in Scotland, and the two are often visited together.
