RegionKintail & Glen Affric
Sàileag, the 'little heel', is the westernmost Munro on the Brothers of Kintail ridge. From Glen Shiel it shows a long, even sweep of grass rising above the forestry, but its north side is rougher, with a spur reaching out towards the hidden Gleann Lichd. Most people reach it from Bealach an Lapain, the col just to the west, and a clear path runs along the crest to the cairn.
