Sron a' Choire Ghairbh, the 'nose of the rough corrie', is the highest of the Loch Lochy hills, and its cairn stands right on the edge of craggy Coire Glas, with a small loch below. It's one of the few Scottish hills with a visitors' book on top, kept in a wooden box. A stalkers' path zigzags up from the Cam Bhealach, the notch it shares with Meall na Teanga. From the summit you see across the mountains of Lochaber.
