Quinag

---

Quinag is the most northerly mountain in Assynt and possesses three main ridges laid out in a giant Y. The southern ridge over Spidean Coinich dominates the horizon as you drive north along the shores of Loch Assynt. The road forks at Skiag Bridge with the A894 continuing the route north over the (relatively) new bridge at Kylesku. As the road climbs to the pass between Quinag and Glas Bheinn it makes a convenient starting point for an ascent of the mountain. The highest summit is Sail Garbh forming the north east ridge of the Y outline, this ridge continuing to the Barrel Buttress - an impressive feature that towers over the houses around Kylesku.
