Stob Coire an Laoigh, roughly 'peak of the corrie of the calf', is one of the high points on the long Grey Corries ridge east of Ben Nevis. Pale grey quartzite scree spills down its slopes, while a dark cliff falls away on the north side. On the top there's a circular stone wind shelter, and the ridge carries on to Sgùrr Choinnich Mòr in one direction and Stob Choire Claurigh in the other.
